An unclothed Victoria Bateman talks about her book The Sex Factor

Naked Economics

Body acceptance, feminism, sex positivity… these are not topics you would expect to be discussed by an economist. Most people would be even more surprised to see a university professor with a Phd discussing these topics while nude. Yet that is exactly what Dr. Victoria Bateman has been doing. In this episode we discuss her experiences protesting the patriarchal establishment as well as her two books, “Naked Feminism” and “The Sex Factor”.

  1. I’ve heard quite a few interviews with Dr Bateman recently and this is by some distance the best.

    There was one question though that I felt showed a puzzling dichotomy in Naturist thinking; if a viewer is offended by pictures of naturists, it’s the viewer’s problem, but if a viewer is sexually stimulated by the same pictures, it’s the naturists’ problem. This seems to me like a strange inconsistency.

  2. Nudity makes all of the man. Clothes and censorship makes nudity sexy.

  3. Clothes makes the man, and that is a problem.
    Because nudity makes the woman more complete and the man more human.

  5. Clothes makes the man, and that is a problem.
    Because nudity makes the woman more complete and the man more human.

    Clothes makes nudity a problem.
    Nudity solves the problem.

  6. We can not solve the problem with nudity with more clothes. We can only solve it with more and different nudity.

  7. Clothes hides the problem.
    Nudity solves the problem.
    Censorship hides the solution
    instead of the problem,
    and it makes the solution your problem.

  8. The problem with people with clothes
    is that people are people without clothes
    and the censorship is sex without clothes.

  10. Idea for a cartoon.
    Naked woman to woman in ”puritan” dress:
    ”My body is decent. How are you?”

  11. The problem with people with clothes is that people are people without clothes and the clothes are indecent without clothes.
    Because people are naked, not clothes.

  12. You can’t be decent with clothes. They are not decent, they are clothes.

  14. Decent people are naked too.
    Clothes are never decent when you are naked.
