Why are there laws that ban nudity?

It certainly makes good sense to be wearing clothing in Minneapolis during winter, but why is nudity illegal in Los Angeles and Miami?

If someone wants to walk about in their birthday suit, why shouldn't they be able to do so?

How does it affect you personally?

Do you support clothing equality?

Think about it.

Men can bare their chest when the mercury gets high, but a woman either has to wear a shirt of a sports bra.

How is that not sexist?

Nudity has no accentuation, outside of comparison with enhancement or dehancement dressing.

Nudity is the ultimate dehancement.

Cops are always trying to dehance people.

They dehance you with their eyes when they can't get an arrest.

Think of the possibilities - it might eliminate the need for cross dressing.

Then again - fake moustaches exist - so some entrepreneur will likely invent fake "equipment".

Our western society is really amazing. Show blood, guts, gore, and people getting torn apart, and a movie gets PG-13. Show one tiny piece of privates, and it's slapped with NC-17. I may be exaggerating things a tiny little bit, but not by much.

That would violate the principle of federalism.

Telling a state that it must allow public nudity is not among the enumerated powers of Congress in Article I, Section 7 of the United States Constitution.

Come to think of it, neither is standardizing marriage laws.

Is clothing overrated?

Absolutely!

Speedos should be mandatory south of the Mason Dixon Line. Especially in states like Mississippi and Louisiana, where obesity is epidemic.
