I really don't think our societal rules and mores can be remotely compared to certain Muslim society's laws. We don't cut off women's clits to desexualize them or beat the crap out of them/throw acid on them/kill them if they wear (or not wear) a certain outfit or otherwise attempt to have individuality. Sounds pretty extremist to me to compare how women are treated in those societies to the way they are treated in Florida.
They want the freedom to sunbathe nude. Most men don't walk down the street with their shirts of but they lounge around, or work in their backyard that way on hot days often. That's where I would want to freedom to take off my shirt.
I could agree with nudity in your backyard or your or someone else's personal property (like at a party where it's allowed) more than walking down a street. I disagree with this in front yards and other places where public display is more apparent. In Florida you see men shirtless all the time due to climate, and I am sure women would follow suit if it was legal. We are a sexually paradoxical society, and very perverted under a veneer of morality. I really don't think it would be productive to make this legal in public places due to accident potential and leering/harassment.
