Hello, .!
And thank you for sharing your opinion!
Last July, I started a thread on the reasons for boy nudity.
I invite you to check this out:

I admit that I said a lot about why boys should
but not much about why girls shouldn't.
Someone else started a great big thread on the double standard:

I started to wonder what experts in psychology and psychiatry thought about modesty training.
I did a google search, hoping to find professional journal articles on the subject.
The only sites I found on the subject were written by religiously motivated parents.
Even there, modesty training for boys comes only as an overthought.
Apparently, it went without saying that girls should be modesty trained.
Here I explain my google search in greater detail:

I am far from taking a firm stand on the dichotomy between CFNM and egalitarian nudity.
I guess I would approve of women and girls going nude if they wanted to, but they don't seem to want to.
In the community where I live, there is an annual nude event.
The men at that event always outnumber the women by at least 10 to 1.
Here is a study conducted by a zealous advocate of nudism.
Despite the author's bias, she found that home-based nudism and recreational nudism benefitted boys,
but had no significant effect on girls:
Story, M. D. 1979. Factors associated with more positive body self-concepts in preschool children. Journal of Social Psychology 108: 49-56.
CFNM seems to be a human instinct.
In Japan, boys perform in drum ensembles for jam-packed auditoriums, wearing loincloths that cover the genitals and nothing else.
In the Embera tribe of Panama and Colombia, boys go naked until they show signs of modesty.
Girls are covered up from the very beginning.
I can't escape, however, from the argument that CFNM is unjust.
In 2012, Drew wrote to the 223876 forum:
"My sisters, older girlfriends would get a chuckle out of seeing a few boys run around naked in summer but the chuckle did wear off quickly. They mentioned they would run around too if they had a ding ding and were allowed to do that too."
In 2022, melanie wrote to the 223876 forum:
"As you said, we were all used to it, it was normal to us so nothing seemed out of the ordinary at the time. In a way I wish I had questioned it, said why not us girls go naked too? But I was just a kid, it was just the way thing were."
Likewise for the double standard for toplessness.

"Boys doing PE, and other exercise, topless has always seemed to be a good idea to me, Back when i was at school, I was always envious of my brother being allowed to take his top off for PE , while I had to endure a clingy polo-shirt - not even the luxury of a sleeveless vest, and still less the freedom of a sports bra, for us girls. i should add that topless was optional for the boys, generally with 100% uptake!"
If you have any further thoughts on the subject,
I shall be interested to hear them.
