To hang out my washing wearing just bra and knickers?

That's it really.

What are your thoughts?

YANBU, If people can walk around a public beech in a bikini then why can't you walk around your garden wearing a similar amount of clothing, I can't complain I was out in the garden earlier on in my underwear hanging up the clothes I plan to wear later.

To be honest if my garden was isolated I would probably not bother with clothes for that morning cigarette.

I don't understand the stigma with the human body, all women are the same, all men are the same, once you've seen one you've seen them all.

See, I agree that the stigma is silly and it would be nice if I we could get over it, but I don't think that's an argument against it. Because it isn't actually true. That's like saying all cars are the same, or all tables. They're the same category of thing, but they're not all the same at all, they come in a lot of very different shapes, colours, ages and conditions. The variety of the human body is quite amazing, and actually I think that's a reason why people do sometimes ogle each other a bit - not sexually, just out of curiosity at the "otherness" of people.

YANBU - I have often hung washing out in just knickers - rarely wear a bra at home - and we are overlooked on both sides. But then I also sunbathe topless in the garden. I'm certainly not "seeking attention" but am not bothered at being seen either. Live and let live.

When I say all the same I mean as in we are all humans, similar to all cars (although in different shapes, sizes, colours etc...) get us from A to B (unless you have a bad car).

I do on the other hand agree with what you say, there is just some pervy stigma around that makes everybody think that everything should be covered up.
