It affects one gender a lot more than the other.

Not here really. I go to pretty kinky parties and I often find myself on the metro with other partygoers. One time pretty recently there was fellow partygoer (unknown to me but clearly from the same party) who even had her boobs out in the metro (at 4am) and no comments or even weird looks were made. It made me happy seeing the tolerance and diversity (and, admittedly, the boobs too ;) ). Nobody was being weird or trying to sneak a photo or anything.

Though strangely enough a friend of mine was told off by security for taking off her heels while sitting down (they hurt a bit) but at the same time ignoring the boobs girl altogether lol.

European capital? Curious about such party scene ^^

Yes, Barcelona (not a capital though it is the capital of the state of Catalonia).

Berlin is even (way) crazier by the way. Though I'm not sure how they would deal with this in public there, Germans can be a bit more formal in that sense :)

Germans are more accepting of nudity than most other countries, there are very few laws against it. Partly it's a legacy of the FKK (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freik%C3%B6rperkultur).

Ah ok, but there are a lot of Calvinists that I'm sure would object in public.

Interesting, I didn't know about that movement.

Danger of broken glass on the ground? Would hurt bare feet, irrelevant to bare boobs.

True but she was sitting down on a subway bench and just resting her feet. She was not trying nor planning to walk barefoot.
