Girls, Are women truly embarrassed of their bodies?

I was down at the beach yesterday and I have realized a lot of women keep their self pretty much covered up. Is it due to the fact that they're out of shape or embarrassed of their body.

They aren't covered because they are embarrassed of their bodies. They are covered to try and avoid stares from perverted men.

A lot of women cover up more in general these days in baggy or oversized clothes and men like you who ogle their bodies contribute a lot to that choice. I mean look at you making it about weight insecurities just because some women aren’t putting themselves on display.

Could be one of those reasons but it can also be more broadly observed that women are told to cover up if they don't want unwanted attention from men or seen as a unrespectable individual (read

No, it’s because when women show more of their bodies, men stop seeing them as people and when women get assaulted, it’s women that are blamed.

I am a nudist and I am not embarrassed by my body at all. I am very proud of it.
