    Yes but decency laws are applied purely because of the reactions they cause. If someone takes a shit down a drain on the street it’s not the littering that bothers me so much. I want there to be a law that can make that stop.

      Again, someone has to act indecently. It’s not the reaction that makes something illegal.

      Nudism has already been ruled as not being indecent, this applies equally to males and females.

      I want there to be a law that can make that stop.

      Ah. Now we are getting to your point. You want it to be illegal for someone to offend you. Not going to happen, because it is not practical. Different people will be offended by different things. It’s not a basis for law.

        If nudism (where you are) is not deemed as indecent I completely agree there should never be a law that specifically targets women. That seems obvious. Where I am nudism or more specifically being naked in a public space is deemed as indecent.

          I think the position we have reached in this discussion is that laws should be equal for everyone, regardless of sex.

          This means that if a society decides naked female nipples/breasts are offensive then it should also apply to males. If male nipples are not offensive then neither are females.
