These are broad generalisations but laws need to be broad and general.

So the solution is to treat all chests and nipples equally. Allow them to be shown, or hide them from everyone, but enforce the rule consistently.

But in general men and women are different in this area and there’s vastly different reactions to each scenario ie a man having his shirt off vs a woman having her shirt off

Laws can only be enforced on someone's actions, not on other peoples reactions.

Is this really true? I can’t walk around with a flamethrower even though I haven’t used it. The reason is because people don’t feel comfortable with that right?

[-] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago

Swap flamethrower for gun and you are describing open carry laws. Some states have decided this is legal, others not.

But the laws do apply equally, independent of gender.

Age of consent laws are applied differently to each gender, it acknowledges differences. Age pension laws acknowledge differences in retirement age. I think we can agree open carry laws make people uncomfortable and that’s why most states and the people in them are sane enough to disagree with them. People would prefer to not know you have a gun and all the angst and discomfort that goes along with it, it’s not so much the issue of the gun itself.

Only in sexist countries. Most of Europe has progressive equal laws

Ok, if we balance that can we raise the age that a woman can claim the pension and also get rid of government help when a woman becomes pregnant and has a child in a hospital?

we raise the age that a woman can claim the pension

Correct

get rid of government help when a woman becomes pregnant

Other way around. Provide free universal health care no matter the age, sex or previous conditions.

But you raise an interesting point. For example, in the EU it is not allowed to discriminate when offering car insurance, but statistically men have more expensive accidents. The insurance companies are forced to accept the mispricing loss.
