Potty Parity
In general, the body armor depicted above more than shields the sensitive, sensual. issues, or tissues, as per this solicitously selected 'modern' authority on combat covering:

... 8. Is there a difference between male and female models of armor?
Generally speaking, the difference between male and female models is that for the female body armor, most manufacturers cut and stitch the material to create bust cups. This is why the NIJ Standard views male and female vests as separate models, even though they may be made of exactly the same type and sequence of layers of ballistic materials. ... ... There are many different types and styles of female vests, and ways of fitting vests to accommodate all of the various sizes and shapes needed for female officers. Some manufacturers have developed methods which "mold" the bust cups into the material, negating the need for cutting and stitching to create a bust cup. ... ... ...

There are more physiological differences between the genders then the external genitalia.

Citing Hilary Doda's essay:
... Women also tend to be shorter-waisted than men, proportionally speaking, having a smaller distance between waist and armpit. Some women also experience dramatic physical changes, most notably bloating -- sometimes gaining over five pounds in water weight for a few days -- and higher sensitivity to touch, pressure and/or impact, just previous to and during their actual menstruation. This phenomenon, although perhaps most appropriate only for the more detail-oriented players, can demand a different armoring strategy than during the other three weeks or so of the month. ....
The clever 'Dick' can rationalize the bending at the womanly waist, to justify the un-armored mid drift!! This 'open' concession to flexibility comes from adapting male - sized - equipment to a female frame. And why not set off the navel 'exposed' with a fashionable, and possibly plot enhancing, piercing. Ah, ... because we can.
The "'privates"' will universally need protection. I am sure that when male models are offered for our viewing, we will see a form of ""Potty Parity"' **
** (A sub text of the Equal Rights Movement that equips women's restrooms with sit down porcelain utilities equal to the total sum of urinals and toilets in the mens', so there are shorter 'pee' lines at , for example, movie intermissions.)
I trust we will see a fraternal regard for the protection of male soft and squishy appendages, as we see in the above Valkyrie breast cups of the female warriors depicted.
I anticipate 'eye appeal'. The rendering of body protection suitably molded to the same parity of ballistic engineering and fashion consciousness, ... , as these twin, spherical, moons. Heavenly satellites that, no doubt, provide a favorable angle of deflection for any incoming missile, or energy beam, and indeed, ... , add the futuristic streamlining of 1950's fast and bulbous autos for the necessary , rpg, heroic, 'élan'.
Yes, the men will stand tall in sculpted ""Cod Pieces"' and do themselves, and their fathers', ... proud.

Only nitpick is about the breasts... One set looks too rounded and the other set is underarmored.
