    Well I think it does. Sexual assault happens already often and I believe allowing people to be naked in public will increase the chance of sexual harassment and potentially even assault.

      Do you believe how people dress makes them responsible for how others treat them? I.e., if a girl wears a skirt that’s ‘a little too short’ and gets assaulted, was she asking for it?

        No I don’t. And that is not what I am saying at all.

        All I am saying is that I believe in current society allowing people to be naked in public will increase the amount of sexual harassment.

      I’m sorry for your experience but it doesn’t make your opinion any more valid.

        Why is my opinion (“I think allowing people to be nude in public will increase sexual harassment cases”) invalid?

          Because if you apply any critical thinking its obviously an incorrect assumption. And it is an assumption, you have no proof but your feelings. What was it y’all were saying about feelings a couple years back?

      For the record, no one is diminishing what happened to you. Im really sorry to hear that. Those sexual acts should be punished. There is no question to that.

      However punishing nudity just because some people are misbehaving is not right.

          Yes, you are. You are suggesting that nudism shouldn’t be allowed because it might increase sexual assaults.

          If you are going to discuss something, read the whole discussion and reply to it, not just select one line.

            I reacted directly to someone saying nudity in public in general should be allowed. I don’t have a problem with allowing nudity in specific areas like beaches etc.
