My Comment Posted on Digg:
Would you live in a place where the pool was "Clothing Optional"? This lifestyle is a choice and we are a country with the right to "Freedom of Choice". Some people's belief that a naked body should not be shown, have made us a society of body shy people.
The rest of the thought:
I understand that some religions have rules / commandment related to body display. This is not a poke at religion. Just as they have the right to choose a religion. People should have a right to choose how much or little of their body they show in public. If you don't like what you see, you have the choice to look away or not look at all.
The human body is a work of art, it should be displayed to all, both the male and female body.In current society the only shown body's are the "pretty people, generally women". Now who defines the pretty people.
This lies somewhere between the clothing industry and media. They choose who to show and what the right size is. If you go shopping today you will find that most ladies clothing is aimed at the "size 6" and tall with cleavage showing bodices. As you go up in sizes your selections get smaller or you are limited to specialty stores where the prices can be fixed higher. Similar things happen in gentleman's clothing, but are less obvious since men's fashion takes a back seat, due to "normal" shopping patterns. to see this look at your major superstore. Shopping is a topic for another article.
Back to the topic at hand, If you want to where or not where something should be your choice. You should be able to make the same choice for your family. Yes, I said family. Current laws in most of the world state that images of or video of, a naked child (2-18) is sexual exploitation and a felony grade offense. Most people have been taught that nudity is shameful. What does this create? Parents that are afraid to let their kids run around with out clothing. Children that grow up with serious mental health related issues.
Anorexia and Bulimia are mental heath conditions, that lead to physical health problems. There are others that I can't think of now. Theses conditions exist because of the perfect body ideal currently being pushed.
