These are broad generalisations but laws need to be broad and general.

So the solution is to treat all chests and nipples equally. Allow them to be shown, or hide them from everyone, but enforce the rule consistently.

But in general men and women are different in this area and there’s vastly different reactions to each scenario ie a man having his shirt off vs a woman having her shirt off

Laws can only be enforced on someone's actions, not on other peoples reactions.

Yes but decency laws are applied purely because of the reactions they cause. If someone takes a shit down a drain on the street it’s not the littering that bothers me so much. I want there to be a law that can make that stop.

Again, someone has to act indecently. It's not the reaction that makes something illegal.

Nudism has already been ruled as not being indecent, this applies equally to males and females.

I want there to be a law that can make that stop.

Ah. Now we are getting to your point. You want it to be illegal for someone to offend you. Not going to happen, because it is not practical. Different people will be offended by different things. It's not a basis for law.

If nudism (where you are) is not deemed as indecent I completely agree there should never be a law that specifically targets women. That seems obvious. Where I am nudism or more specifically being naked in a public space is deemed as indecent.
