Many people dream of being at work or school only to realize that they are …
An interesting read
4 stars
It was good. Not the most amazing book in the world but I think it tried to convey the #naturist ideology very well. It did bother me slightly because the student had some exhibitionist tendencies (becoming sexually aroused when being the only one naked) which is not what naturism is about. But in the end of the book she goes to a naturist park and she realizes she doesn't get aroused when she is not the only one naked. I think there are some true ideas coming through that most of the world wants to try and ignore.

It’s hard reading this. It’s probably the first legitimate book I’ve read in Italian and it’s really easy to get distracted while I read it.

Just listened to the Naturist Living Show (hosted by @sdeschenes@mastodon.online) about this book. I’ve read the previous two books from the Aenya series and liked them. I even bought this book when I heard about it. Have yet to read it though haha.

Rhett Rogers quoted Naked Feminism by Victoria Bateman
Is it right that, despite the promises of feminism, women’s bodies remain at the mercy …
The answer to our problems should not be to enforce conformity, but to challenge the whole notion of modesty norms; to stop judging one another on the basis of our bodily modesty; to let every person dress as they wish; to not assume that uncovered women are 'trashy' and can be treated as 'meat', or that modest women are 'victims' and 'prudes'.

But, to get the best outcome for yourself, you have to outdo other women in terms of modesty, pointing out where you are doing better, and where they have 'fallen', Modesty Is a relative thing; for one woman to be modest, another must be deemed immodest. It is one of the reasons women slut shame: to signal that they do not approve of, or engage in, immodest behaviour, taking the opportunity to mark themselves out as more 'worthy. In other words, modesty is not necessarily enforced by the sisterhood in order to 'protect’ one another, it can also be the outcome of intra-female competition in a world in which making the best of a bad situation involves playing the game.
— Naked Feminism by Victoria Bateman (Page 208)
This could be applied to a lot of things in life but it is especially obvious with this example. In order for you to be better, others have to be worse

A fascinating rethinking of society and its flaws around women. “Naked feminism” sounds like a contradiction but it truly makes sense. We all should have the ability to choose, no one should be forced to do the “right thing”.
