Body Sexualisation
I've just posted a new article prompted by watching https://www.toplesstopics.org/nomorenudism/ by @toplesstopics@eldritch.cafe

I think it's quite easy to overlook this gender equality issue in the pursuit of more generalised nude rights.
I can't help feeling however, that if this one simple thing can't be resolved, how on earth is anything broader going to be accomplished?
I think a little more to the point, in countries like NZ and the UK where there aren't laws against nudity, the bigger barrier to female topless equality is the highly sexualised male attitude towards breasts and arguably bodies as well.
I'm not sure what the solution to this latter problem is other than far better education and an emphasis on respect.
I've always found it a bit weird to be honest for people to be complimenting each other on their body. There's a different between saying, "You look well," or "healthy" and "You look gorgeous," or "beautiful" or "hot". etc.
These latter remarks are judgement and objectifying.
There's always questions like, "why don't more women get involved in naturism".
I think the simple answer is they have no inclination to go out of their way to be objectified even further in a far more vunerable state.
