It's not the clothing

I don't hate clothing, per se. What I hate is having to cover my body because someone thinks it's obscene, disgusting, inappropriate, indecent, lewd, offensive, etc. What if a child saw you?

Clothing has its uses and purposes -- protection against hazardous conditions. When they really are necessary, I truly appreciate them.
