UK: Male nudity on mainstream TV.

Show the nudity, I don't care.

What bugs me is the double standard around it. Female nudity is just another form of 'objectification', to the point where we have major cities removing entire ad campaigns because they feature a woman in a bikini. But male nudity isn't objectification, is it? It's female empowerment!

Feminism doesn't know whether to suck or blow when it comes to sex. Some are sex positive, others are frigging prudes.

~~'It was Daniel Craig's fault, coming out of the sea [in Casino Royale, 2006].~~

But it was ok for all those women all those years doing the same thing is ok?

If the scene actually calls for it, whatever, but no need to be blatant about it.

I wholeheartedly support the cultural trend towards showing beautiful naked people of both sexes on television.

Now, the steroids and extreme dieting...

The issue in the UK is that several channels ban female nudity but allow full frontal male nudity. ITV for example.

The BBC has a lot of full frontal male nudity but female nudity is rare indeed.

It is the double standard that is the issue.

Most mainstream channels do not show full frontal female nudity. But every week there are programmes with male nudity.

Male rear nudity is now only used in adverts. Female rear nudity is banned.

I used to be very anti nudity, but I've come to realise that as long as they aren't grossly hairy or obese it isn't really that offensive. I mean, you just get used to it after a while.
