I understand that in NY it is legal for women to go topless, just as
it is for men.  

Some people just have a sexual fascination with breasts.  They don't
want to see a bared breast, or God forbid, a nipple because they would
be sexually aroused, and sexual arousal for a man in a public place
can be embarrassing.  So they pass laws to forbid women from showing
their breasts in public.  Breast feeding also can be a sexually
stimulating act for a man because he would then fantasize about being
attached to the breast instead of the child.  So that would also be a
no-no.  If we carry this logic out then women will end up wearing
vials and loose clothes that cover all the body.  Sounds like some
Arabic nations.

People get over your sexual fascination with the naked human form.
Nudity does not equal sex.
