Either Yes, or require men to cover their chests.

One or the other.

Sure they would. Gay men don't lose their minds in the presence of leather floats and gogo dancers at pride, so we shouldn't accept the double standard here. The vast majority of us don't opportunistically turn into raving animals. And for those that do, we have jail. That's what it's there for.

On grounds of fairness, this is a social development we should aspire towards, and a logical end of the body positivity movement. And some places around the world understand that creating the taboo, they're effectively conditioning the sexual hang ups that problematize this into their own populations. That's not so say, we should just throw the gates open. Those societies became that way because public attitudes on this kind of exposure changed and that power flowed from the ground up. Eventually that may happen here, but if it's going to last it needs to happen organically.

The critical flaw here, at least according to the pictures above, is that women going topless apparently leaves at least one arm effectively useless.

First, the pictures above are posed to entice viewers. Those aren't representative of those places where toplessness isn't a big deal, and people wouldn't feel compelled to cover themselves.

Second, the women in those pictures are pantomiming maintaining their modesty, reflecting the values of their intended consumers. We can call it a pantomime because, as above the photos are designed to entice and there is nothing modest about them.

What this means is that the intent behind those pictures reveals nearly as much about us as a culture at it does the subject of those photos.

Yes, they should.

We should all be able to walk around fully nude without being arrested.

Somewhat related, I had a female cop threaten to arrest me for standing on the side of the road shirtless.

My car had broke down and it was over 100 outside, way too hot to sit in the car waiting for tow truck.

She kept covering her eyes and looking to the side in disgust. She told me "nobody wants to see your sweaty tits" and "put a shirt on right fucking now or I'll throw your nasty ass in jail".

I told her I didn't have a shirt with me because it was hot and I hadn't planned to exit the vehicle on my trip. She searched the backseat, I guess she thought I was lying.

She told me to never leave my house without a shirt again and stormed off. I thought the whole exchange was hilarious but my girlfriend was nearly in tears.

Isn't that already discussed in the original post describing how this kind of societal change starts at the personal level before eventually becoming policy.

No.

It would be naive and irresponsible to allow this. The fact of the matter is, boobs are sexual. We men, see them in a sexual way.

It's not appropriate at all imo. Sexual parts shouldn't be exposed.

attempting to respond in a mature manner:

In all seriousness, i think the initial acceptance would rely on how many partook in the practice of going topless to the beach or walking in a public place on a hot day. However much this actually would encourage the perverse aspect of some people, i'll never know, but if enough women actually did it then i could see the novelty of it wearing off in time and girl nipples would finally not be seen as any different then men's. Maybe a vast majority of men find it sexual, but some men find feet sexually attractive. Those feet guys get to walk around the beach and see all the feet they want while the boob guys don't because..... boobs are considered sexual........ so the aspect of it should be prohibited simply for sexual reasons is basically discriminating against 1) guys who prefer boobs and 2) women's right to walk around topless like men..

what i want to say:

show me the titties

Once you reach a certain weight, men and women are largely indistinguishable from the waist-up anyway.

Men don't go "topless", they go shirtless.

Also, allowing women to expose their breasts would create a disarray of problems, mostly sexual harassment suits against minors.
