Yeah you would think something like that would catch on with the emphasis on tradition these days. The men can dance scantily clad in nothing more than a thong but the women need to be covered up. That's how it is though. A show featuring topless women dancers would not be considered family friendly today. But why does it have to be that way?
I think there are two factors. First there is the shame leftover from the puritan/missionary days which is more prevalent here than on the mainland where it still exists, more so than in Europe. If you see a topless woman here, she is highly unlikely to be a local. Then there is the fear of unwanted male attention. The first actually brought about the second factor by creating a taboo so the sight of a topless female became an erotic thing for males. It's like in Muslim countries where the sight of a woman in tight jeans or with her hair exposed would arouse the men.
