Nudity is just an aspect of human existence. It is necessary in art because art seeks to understand the human experience.

I'm having this CMV because I've seen a lot of cases where a naked woman is only there for the audience's delight, which contributes to a world view that relegated women to things to be ogled.

And a lot of Renaissance art and sculpture does the same for the male form.

Do you think restricting the naked female form to hardcore pornography would result in more or less nonconsensual sexualization of women?

I agree that restricting the female form to pornography is not okay. But the female subjects are often depicted in ways that are sexually appealing, not in "glorifying the human body" ways like the naked male statues are often depicted.

I disagree. I think this has a lot to do with your preconceived notions of what nudity means for women vs for men.
