Feminism and naturism

On Gym changing rooms: the last bastion of body realism? Joanna Whitehead says "... I was surprised to hear giggling over how one colleague had caught a glimpse of another senior colleague `in the buff` whilst changing at our company gym. ....When I heard this, I was shocked - and then I was sad. Shocked; because I couldn’t quite believe that seeing someone naked in a traditionally naked place (i.e. a changing room) was even worthy of comment, never mind revulsion; and, sad because I wondered how and why the sight of a naked body was enough to provoke such disgust and discontent."
It is indeed sad that the sight of mere nudity causes any problem at all, we are all made the same. People who giggle about nudity are those who have a significant problem with their own body image, i.e. not the kind of people who are well balanced enough to be any kind of role model.
Feminists have much in common with the naturist view of life, i.e. they work to end prejudice, prejudice that has resulted from a non thinking upbringing. It is beyond belief that any argument can be strongly held that women should be shown to be less than men, equally, it is beyond belief that anyone should snigger at simple nudity. Yet they do. If feminists and naturists do eventually win their cause, the words feminist and naturist will become of interest only to historians, they will have argued themselves out of existence, but the world will be all the better for it.
In "Mark Twain in Eruption", its famous and much quoted author wrote "We are discreet sheep; we wait to see how the drove is going, and then go with the drove. We have two opinions: one private, which we are afraid to express; and another one - the one we use - which we force ourselves to wear to please Mrs. Grundy, until habit makes us comfortable in it, and the custom of defending it presently makes us love it, adore it, and forget how pitifully we came by it. Look at it in politics.". This is the essence of prejudice, acting without thought simply because others do. It is the behaviour of sheep.
