Should it be legal for women to be topless in public?

[Emsworth]

It should certainly be legal to appear topless on one's own property, or on someone else's property with the owner's consent, even if one can be seen by the public.

Should it be legal to blast music at night while other people are trying to sleep?

No, but there is a difference between the two cases. Loud music has a tendency to disturb and annoy other people, but failing to wear a shirt does not. Moreover, one can very simply avert one's eyes, but one cannot really avert one's ears.

In more general terms: failing to wear clothing does not serve to coerce anyone else; therefore, it should be legal.

Nudity does tend to disturb people, which is why it's outlawed in the first place.

Nudity disturbs people to the same extent that expressing an unpopular opinion disturbs people. Loud music tends to produce a much more substantive disturbance.
