The majority of streakers seem to be male, although there have been some famous female streakers in the past e.g. Erica Roe. Regarding the idea of a "man running naked past school kids" - it's been said elsewhere on this site but I'll say it again. Streaking is not about sex. It's about being silly and making people laugh. If the man ran naked past children with an erection, that would be a sex offense. But have you ever seen a streaker with a hard on? Streakers by nature should not be sexually aroused by the act, otherwise they're known as flashers. It's the usual moral panic response to squeal "But think of the children!!!" Nudity in itself should never be an offensive thing and I'm fairly certain that kids are able to deal with it - even if confronted with an unusual circumstance like a streaker at the cricket. Good parents know it's just an opportunity to explain the ways of the world, including why we think it's strange for people to be naked in public. Hugh, not sure what you mean by male oriented.
