TreyI've been slowly watching #NakedEducation (https://www.channel4.com/programmes/naked-education). I haven't been a fan of Anna Richardson's past work with Naked Attraction, but I have to say, this time around she really put body positivity in the spotlight. I highly recommend anyone in the UK to give it a try.
There's also been a lot of mudslinging going around because the show displayed naked bodies to teens, but this article sums up why it's necessary. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/apr/14/naked-education-britain-teens-naked-bodies-channel-4
If we don't teach our children about bodies and make them wise about their own, there are whole industries out there waiting to prey on their inexperience and take advantage of it by planting body insecurities.
Rhett Rogers@trey just out of curiosity was it because of the show Naked Attraction or her contributions to it. I’m definitely not a fan of that show but I have heard little about her.
I saw the first episode as well and enjoyed it.
@rhett Both.
The show puts such a large emphasis on having a conventionally beautiful body. Few episodes strayed from those conventions. The final bodies picked were always painfully, sadly predictable.
As for Anna, she has written books that feed on people's body dysmorphia. And, even though she promotes body positivity through nakedness now, she never participates. Which is odd when everyone else is getting naked to support the cause yet she doesn't, you know?
@trey Yeah I had that thought as I was watching the first episode. It is weird she doesn't participate in it. Maybe she will open up to the idea and realize if she really wants to help people then that is what she should do.
Unfortunately she may be more concerned about her career than helping people.
