Attending A Full Nude Production - 2000 Words

Attending a full nude production often comes with guilty anticipation in American culture. Even the most modest of attendees enter the space with bold-boundary-breaking, fuck-rules-on-purpose kind of swagger.

Furthermore, the irony of a male majority audience, speaks to the cultural acceptance of males viewing female nudity, entitlement in entering public spaces, and the powerlessness and inability to create an â€Å"all female space†.
