Not a particularly good example, women can be topless in NYC: http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2015/08/24/434315957/...

Which is exactly why as many women as men are going topless in NYC, right?

I could be misguided and maybe women have less tendency of going topless. Do you have any studies at hand?

No one said it's popular, just that it's not illegal.

And I am saying that because it is legal it does not mean it is accepted. You don't have the weight of the state, but the weight of society.

My mistake. I had vague memories that it was illegal in NYC.

Substitute NYC for a city in the USA where it's illegal for women to go topless.
