Leanne --
I certainly don't this is a new
trend. There has forever been a double standard
when it comes to nudity in films. Some of the
problem is that audiences (male and female) certainly
take more pleasure in seeing the female body
naked, but another part of the problem is that
this can be asked of women and not of men.
Yes,
women can certainly create their own policy around
nudity -- but the assumption is that it will
hurt their career. So women cave in the name
of their career and the same is never asked of
men. The way to stop women from doing this is
for audiences to react -- and to say that you
don't like it. You can send a letter to the movie
houses letting them know that.
Thanks for reaching
out,
- Amy
