"Misanthropy!" Interesting definition. Kinda is.
This is hating a part of ones self. Anger at one self, at ones body. Something is wrong with ones self and must be covered up, confined and in shame. It is a shadow that is to fear and fight.
One man just exclaimed that it is "just wrong." He is displaying a socially ingrained sense of correctness, without any intellectual deliberation, merely accepting status quo without question. A more inflicted upon his humanity. He doesn't even know what he is doing, similar to an unconscious robotic that is programed.
How can a reasonable person be offended by their own body? Staying covered is enforced in law and social stigma and so these do harm. Being human is being in and accepting ones body, to be aware in it, to be of it, to not deny it, to love and experience it fully. It is amazing that such an occurrence takes place in law, in a neighborhood, or anywhere at all!
Reality is not found in clothing. Clothing creates illusion to the wearer and to the outside. It follows that the only way to escape illusion, is to stand naked in the world that the body springs from. One must not merely intellectualize, but experience fully the body as such. One cannot just imagine what it is like to go about the world naked, one must actually do it, meeting the shadows full force, knowing the gifts and be amazed by them. Otherwise one cannot fully understand what it is to be a human and being. Most of western humanity is only naked 10 or 15 minutes each day, maybe in a shower, if even that.
When people experience nudity in an accepting circumstance, they love it. That is universal because it is in our nature that the gift of a free body is so wonderfully alive. The naked body is the price of a ticket to a spiritual sense that may ground each of us in the moment, where illusions are unveiled and unlearned and comfort can be found in ones humanity. Any person who has experienced naturism knows this and then seeks for more.
It's like a blind man telling me that I look ugly.
Public order is not to go so far as to diminish ones exercise of ones humanity. These laws are much more oppressive and imprisoning than most people understand.
