Well the question is: should topless be legal or not? Some places make it illegal for women because women's breasts have a sexual content that men's breasts don't have. They say that's not discrimination, that's just recognizing a social norm that situates the sexes differently.
So you could frame it like this: are women's breasts more analogous to men's genitals because they have similar sexual content and therefore should be subject to the same exposure laws? Or are women's breasts more analogous to men's breasts because they don't have any sexual content and therefore should be subject to the same exposure/assault laws?
