then make it illegal for men to be topless wherever women can't be topless.

Sure that's an option. It's a regression from what we're talking about but it is undeniably equal.

making it illegal for women to be topless "for their own safety" and "to protect them from the evil men" is not based. the solution to men staring at women that wear or don't wear certain clothing is not to make it illegal, I hope we can agree on that.

We don't disagree. From my first to my most recent responses that hasn't changed.

If you look objectively at my statements you will see I clearly am for the equality and for the law to be put in place. My statements following that were simply expanding on my "Herculean task" assertion I made early on. We are talking about human nature which is arguably pretty shitty when left to its own devices and you needn't look very far to see examples of this. The law change is the first step in a series of steps. I simply am acknowledging this fact.
