Because the Bible says we are supposed to be ashamed of the naked body. Remember God made Adam dress up in a flg leaf to cover himself and be ashamed of his sexual organ.....

Good it wasn't me, I would have needed a whole blanket of fig leaves, heh, heh.
I don't think many people will make that argument. It's just a matter of public decorum. Just like I don't want to see people making out in public, I don't want to see people's body parts hanging out in public. If you're an exhibitionist, find a nudist colony or a nude beach ...
Then why are guys running around topless?
What's the difference if it's men or women?
Seriously, why is this sexually determined?
I agree, theres no purpose in it, last weekend on the news it showed a protest agians't high gas prices, the protesters were naked riding bikes, I don't understand what being naked has to do with high gas prices and I don't understand why they would be allowed to do it. The news showed families with little kids watching. People are just so messed up.
Was this naked gas protest in Oregon, like many weird things. There is a naked bike race here in Portland once a year. There is a nudity law here or so I have been told. One can be nude in public here as long as they are not trying to sexually entice someone.
We (the west) seem to generally view the burqa, chador, hijab etc. as unreasonably oppressive to women, but these are considered appropriate for some standards of decorum. Of course there are women who don't like this type of clothing but there are also many who feel comfortable in the level of modesty they afford.
Is our condemnation of public nudity/toplessness really that different? It's easy to defend a level of exposure once we are used to it. Even 50 years ago it would have been shocking to see a man walking around in khaki shorts, t-shirt and a bare head. A woman in slacks or jeans would have left onlookers apoplectic.

Double standard?
