Look at it like this. Please take the time to actually THINK about it.
The dominant culture that is now in power is Polynesian, or some African Nubian culture where hardly any garments are worn. How would you feel bare breasts, belly exposed and more?
Different cultures have different degrees of bodily exposure they are comfortable with. To some women in the Islamic cultures, exposing their hair, neck and other bodily parts is tantamount to being naked.
Would you like to HAVE to bare your breasts? It's a matter of personal privacy for many.

The point that you seem to be missing is that in every culture except Islam, nobody HAS to wear anything. You can cover up or not, but it is YOUR CHOICE.
You just provided an imaginary example of a culture where you HAVE to dress a particular way.
Easterners talk about western women as if they are walking around in mini skirts and bikinis all the time! Most of the time, women are equally covered up - but they are wearing exactly what they want to, for no other reason than because it pleases them.

I think the fundamental difference would be that I would not assume that these Polynesian woman are a bunch of whores for bearing there breasts. I feel like there is a tendency for Islamic people to think that Western woman are a bunch of evil sex maniacs because we don't cover up.

The dominant culture? Which culture is that? We are all very culturally different from eachother - we are not just talking about the West - there as many women in Eastern countries who are free to wear what they want.
The only similarity is that we have finally abolished our ancient, sexist ideas about how a women should behave and dress. Go back far enough in history of any country and you will find a time when we all had to wear veils, headscarfs and long clothes.

What's wrong with being a sex maniac? It's a compliment! That means we woke up and realized what's good in life!!!
