Is that a trope to complain ? It seems that the whole point is to rant: "not enough female nudity for my taste ! "

And yet when you go to collect data, females character are more likely to get gratuitous nude scenes than males... 
Your One Piece exemple seems biaised: Nami gets nude in Thriller Bark (and almost raped) and a lot of skin is showed. Boa Hancok gets a bath scene, i think. You tend to see some boobs and  (no nipple, but i think males don't have some either ).

I think people may tend to treat male nudity  as funny in comics and anim because Most Author Are Males, no ? They tend to draw attractive female with somewhat exceptional body type and more average-looking male, or at least the sexy isn't a factor. You can tell women and gay comic artists by the way they draw men, sometimes

Same for Game of Thrones: you seem to think that's equal opportunity nudity, but people tend to disagree, and the consensus seems to be there is too much cheesecake and barely some beefcake. And there is certainly a double standart since there is a lot of female full frontal nudity (plus,  young, waxed, and all together very modern) and for male full frontal nudity, there was only "hondor" (which is arguably fandisservice) And maybe Theon, but then again, given the scene, it's more disservice than service, and served with another side of nude girls.

(It's a bit less easy to determined in the books, but still, female's bodies may tend to be more described. It's particularly noticeable in Dany's chapters because it's weird for someone to described her own breasts in her internal monologues.)

Same for Berserk: the infamous rape scene is extremely detailed and goes on for several pages, leaving nothing to the imagination. Compare with the treatment of Gut's: a single frame, maybe too and you don't get close ups on various details as for Casca's. . That's not really "equality"
Many attractive females characters get sexualized nude scenes only for the purpose of shock value. I didn't checked up  on this manga for some time and i was told the author grew less interested drawing this proto-hentai  stuff, but still: that's hardly equality. Maybe scenes of monstrous orgy are equal in their representations but that's debatable, as he may showcase more female bodies / skin than males.

I also feel like the way the standart heterosexual sex scene is framed seems to showcase the female body more: even in movie marketed as feminist, such as "The girl with the dragon tatoo", we got several eyefull of Rooney Mara 's butt (and boobs) but Daniel's Graig's  remains to be seen. (He is supposed to be naked in the strangulation scene but, hey, not in the movie)
