There is that "good girls don't do this" thing for women, but we know that there is also often a better acceptance for women. We naturists all have our hurdles.
I'm naked with my genitals wholly exposed, and prominent, being evaluated for size sometimes. There is that lone pervert stigma that a man has trust on him, and he must get over the fear of that reaction, confident that it is the others problem and projection.
There is body acceptance, for both sexes, "Oh, my thighs," "I'd better suck it in" textile or non, for example a simple, shoulders back, don't slouch.
Women have their stuff tucked away generally, so that it is often even covered by merely a tuft of hair. Lots of people enjoy a nude woman and will accept that, even be pleased to have them around. On the other hand gawkers.
There is that, "Will they think that my nudity is a sexual thing" for both sexes.
There is the effective strategy of acting as if there is nothing amiss, which works wonders. Confidence, dignity, self assurance, being friendly are good strategies for all hikers and people on the street when they meet others.
Insecurity/confidence, seem to be part of the human condition, not just for the naked. For some, nakedness is the key to overcome it all.
