In the US, the occasions when women can show their nipples are far fewer than occasions when men can. It's odd that you have to be told this.
This seems normal to us, because we were raised that way. But there's nothing intrinsic in nature which makes it that way. Every society has customs. Other society's customs seem normal to them. Declaring that our customs are better than other people's customs, when both are purely based in tradition, is just chauvinism.
Agreed.
