I am drunk, bored, and have a raging hard on for political discussion, so I'll just pop in and feed the trolls for a spell. What you are witnessing if an act of political defiance. This is an act of defiance since in many parts of the country(All but NYC I believe, but please correct me if I am wrong) it is illegal and an arrestable offense for a women to go about topless, yet for a man, it isn't. This is why you don't see the topless men. It is also an outcry against social norms that dictate women are to be covered up at all times much like you see in radical Islamist countries.
