War on Male Nudity
Return to DiscussionsThe United States of America is greatly divided in many things. One subject of division is male nudity, and in all places, in the men's locker room. Only 40 years ago this was not a big issue. What I find surprising is that when I did research on this subject the issue on male nudity is divided between people of the same political parties, same religions or non-religions, same genders, same moral views, from the same regions (Rural and Urban), same generations, and living the same lifestyle. So what is it about male nudity that is causing a large division in the United States? You can't blame it on Politics, Religion, Lifestyle, Beliefs, or Locations. Right now the idea of generation differences and anti masculinity is being pushed in the public's eyes. Is that how the average American thinks? I don't personally believe the average American even cares.
Journalists have long sought to sensationalise anything and everything but I feel that the world wide same time access to things via the internet has meant that nothing can be low key.
So the vocal minority can now impose their opinions on everyone and journalist are keen to jump on the story because they are desperate for something to report
As a consequence I fear that public nudity is seen as just to risky and hence many shy away from it
