would work even better.

Why should men be allowed to go topless when women can't? Why should women be subject to topless men that might make women lose their ability to control themselves?

Why should men be guaranteed equal rights if women aren't? And so on...

Or, how about getting rid of gender determinations/articles in legislation, all together and replacing them all with gender neutral descriptions?
