Statistically, it's believed that rape happens more in the West. I don't believe that's necessarily true, I think it's just that women in the West have more of a voice and position to report it and press charges when it happens. I'd imagine the actual rate it happens it about the same in every country.The general self expression of a female, half dressed indeed is one of strong sexuality on some level.
But at any rate, you're conflating nudity with "wanting sex". Why does nudity always have to be sexual? People can be naked or only "half-dressed" for any number of reasons; comfort, self-expression, a political statement, swimming, bathing, breast feeding. Just because a woman is naked it doesn't necessarily have a sexual context.
But not for men? Or is it just that your dick only gets hard for women?
This is the double standard in society. As a man, I can go outside right now and take my top off and not be judged for it, perhaps beyond "Jeez he must be freezing!" since it's January. It's not assumed I want sex, it's not assumed I'm promiscuous, the most people will think is that I'm a bit crazy because it's cold.
A woman can't do the same without everyone simultaneously flinching and gawping in such a childish and petty manner. She's accused of harlotry, of showing off, told to cover up in case an out of control savage rapes her.
Whatever your opinion is on nudity,don't have a double standard about it. Either react the same way to male nudity or tolerate nudity for everyone. You can't selectively have one standard for male nudity and another for women.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
