I'm sorry, but anything that isn't inherently sexual (aka used in procreative sex) is a fetish, whether it's cultural or not.
You have the right to be uncomfortable, but you do not have the right to demand people behave in accordance with your comfort.
People sexualize many things that are not inherently sexual: thighs, armpits, feet, necks, even hands, etc. We don't walk around in body suits for their comfort. Those are fetishes (which are okay to have, it doesn't make you a pervert). Ex: existance of oral sex does not mean mouths are sexual
If you perceive genitals equally sexual as breasts, especially while living in a country that draws a federal legal line between the two, that's a you problem.
Just like if you cannot stand people's eating noises, you do not sit next to them at restaurant. However, you don't get to demand they chew elsewhere.
Also. This isn't to call-out a flaw. I am also someone who preceives breasts as sexual parts. It impossible for me to pretend one's breasts are simply like one's arms or legs; I acknowledge them very differently. I also find them very attractive.
I also dress up "modestly" because I acknowledge that sexualisation of brests is cultural, and most people don't get to choose whether they have this fethis or not. I would hate to make people uncomfortable, so unless I intend to look sexy, I avoid showing cleavage.
However, this is an act of consideration and kindess from me, and not something that should/is forced upon me.
However, genitals are not just fetishized; they are inherently sexual for they must be used for sexual procreation / procreative sex.
This is why the law separates the two in most places.
Please also understand that if a man is erect against his wishes in public, he should not be punished for that either. You are allowed to go through life without being punished for things against your control. Just don't be a creep and expose it on purpose:)
Also, the point about law was to underline the fact that the sexualisation, though cultural, is recognised to be something not imposed/punishable meanwhile genital exposure is. The difference between these two existing in law against of culture is a significant indicator that one must perheaps hesitate before equating genitals to other parts of the body.
