Well that's not hard, since the first one wasn't very good to begin with.

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.

I like when they show dick - it means that at least some men are willing to get naked for the cameras, instead of it always being just women
I always thought the tables were a little tipped the wrong way

over time, yeah, things have definitely been more common for females to go topless. However, lately, there aren't a lot of movies with boobs in them... still more than penises, but, the whole male/female genitalia thing is a bit different, it was a huge scandalous event when Sharon Stone first showed her vagina in Basic Instinct. So I'd say that going topless and showing a penis or a vagina are much different to audiences and filmmakers alike. There are women who fight for equal rights to go topless because men are able to. Other than for perhaps some extremist nudists, you aren't hearing about people trying to make it legal for men and women to walk around without any pants or underwear on...
I'm not saying I want to see more vaginas on film... but I just think that showing a woman topless isn't as big of a deal as showing the male/female genitalia!

Women's breasts are much more sexualized than men's chests, that is why they are considered "private" parts. Therefore, men's genitalia may be different from that of women (we have two areas, you have one), but that doesn't make it any less of a sexual area than men's penises. Women who go topless in movies are considered sluts; men who go bottomless in movies are heroes. Where does the distinction end?
I'd rather see more naked men and less naked women in my movies. It would, as I said before, even out the playing field for once.
Just because men don't like male genitalia doesn't mean women don't want to see it. That logic is flawed - if you notice, women make up half the world's population
Are you of the opinion that our wants don't matter?

this isn't true, like I said, to audiences according the media and society in general, the vagina and penis are considered much more taboo or private than a woman's breasts.
just because men only have one private part doesn't make it the same as women's breasts.

exactly.
boobs have become desexualized if anything. it's really not a big deal to see them anymore.
genitalia is much more sexual...and thus, more taboo. think about the uses, for one thing. and really, women's breasts are just like men's chests, with the addition of some fat, tissue and glands.
seeing more penises would not level out the playing field. if you want level, let's see some more vagina to make up for seeing more penises!
seriously. you can't equate boobs as being genitalia. sure, they're private, but nowhere near as much as genitalia.
