Femme Fwd Article

Medium published an article by Just Naked about trying to make nude spaces more friendly for women. Rather than the ham-handed no single men method, they tried something else:

When we started, we allowed women to wear bottoms. Society allows men to be topless with no concern, so this balanced power and let women ease into the experience as they felt comfortable. Despite receiving many more applications from men who wished to host, we chose to let women lead most of our events. We figured that an event hosted by a woman would inspire women to attend. Finally, Lea crafted our online presentation to be gentle, feminine, and welcoming to women like herself. This effort did not go unnoticed, and some of our earlier events saw women in the majority.

Over time, it wasnt entirely successful, but I like the thinking. I recommend giving it a read.
