If women usually have more insulating fat on their chests than males and women during their lifecycles usually enter stages where they need quick excess to their breasts to feed their young (a phase men do not go through) and breasts are only secondary sex characteristics (like beards and under arm hair) why is it required in so many cultures that women cover their breast under penalty of law while their male counter parts can go shirtless?
It irritaes me that I sit melting in my shirt at The baseball game while guys all around me are stripped to the waist. I don't want to go to jail but it is so lame that I don't have the same right even though these heavy things aren't sex organs?
What do we women need to do? Start having "Breast-Ins" (like the sixties "sit-ins" protests?
What can women in our culture do to change this bias?

Well, I'm not an exhibitionist. And although I would expect males having difficulty staying on the topic or eye contact at first..didn't our culture go though this when women started wearing pants and you could see the whole nasty shape of their legs just like a mans?

in reality the only difference between a mans breast and a womans breast is the fact that a hormone in the womans body exists in large enough quantities to allow the female breast to generally grow large than a mans, and to produce milk. a mans breast could also produce milk given the right level of hormones. by the way more and more courts are agreeing with you. a few courts so far have ruled, and those rulings so far have been upheld, that a woman has the same right to go topless as a man. however full nudity has yet to be allowed by law, or court ruling.

I personally think it is uncouth and immodest for a man to take his shirt off in public. And a lot of places where I live would ask a man to put his shirt on even if it was over 30 degrees Celsius. It is just rude.

If you think it is impossible to look you in the eye with a shirt on, I would love to see them when you take your shirt OFF!
Men's chest are not considered sexual. The fact that our breast are used so much to indicate our sexual attractiveness is the reason that we will have to cover the merchandise for life. We don't stare at men's chest, lusting to have sex with them but men do look at our breast in a sexual manner.
Men don't pay $5,000 to $10,000 to get theirs blown up. But as long as women pay to get their fun bags blown up to capacity, we will always have to keep our shirts on.

Ok sweetie, they are just boobs. I am kinda partial to my 'girls' too.
So you want to take your shirt off while playing baseball. I see nothing wrong with that. They are just breasts, nothing more.
