I always am interested in the opinions of posters in these threads because I have been a nudist for quite along time. I met my wife at a nudist park along with my in laws since my wife grew up in a nudist family.
The thing I want to say is that if you go to nude beaches or clubs you rarely see unattached women there. I was a single nudist before I was married and had many female friends who together we went to nude beaches and clubs. I'm saying this because I want to say I understand the women's feelings in this area. The main reason there are few single women at nude beaches and clubs is because of the men whole go to these places looking for them.
The guys on the street in San Fran wouldn't bother the women at a beach and in nudist circles gay men and straight women are often together. The nude women in Egypt are the kind who like my one friend tricked a guy who was taking her picture at a nude beach into giving his camera to her to look at. She took out the film and threw the camera in the ocean. She was a very strong self determined woman.
So I understand the reaction of a woman who has issues with a guy who posts a story about naked boobies because it titillates him. These are the kind of men who are the reason few single women go to nude events.
Women go to the beach to enjoy the sun and surf not to be objectified by guys who like to stare at nude female crouches.

(12,723 posts)There are threads that contain links that contain female nudity but that is an entirely different thing.
Note, I do not care to actually see it and I did not click on the link to the naked protesters.

It is telling of out culture that these photos of protests are considered tiltilating.
To me the funniest of the series were the butt shield towels, and the image of otherwise nekkid men wearing combat boots.
I see them as photos of people, period.
As to sexualizing a photo, truly, really, eye of the beholder...

There are some serious issues here. I'm not a big fan of the Femen way of protesting BECAUSE people can't fucking take the issue seriously without making stupid jokes. The real issues get buried under men pointing, ogling and being fucking idiots.
I'm so fucking sick of people. God.
