Nudist spaces (for example sauna) are relatively common in some parts of Europe. I don't think it's necessarily a western thing.
I started to type "western" and then used the word "developed" nation instead, and even then I realize that's not entirely accurate. Places like Japan and New Zealand have public baths, often with little or no real separation between genders. There's a famous pic out there of a yakuza woman bathing with her male compatriots. They have a stronger stigma about tattoos than boobs.
Conservatives would absolutely explosively shit themselves if they visited a bathing area in New Zealand, or for that matter any of the many, many nudist communities in the US. You know, those places where we hear about horrible sex crimes that happen every day?
Wait, I'm being told that's actually churches where the horrible sex crimes happen. Churches where people wear clothes.
I fucking swear, the same people who scream about bathroom "safety" are the same people who think all men are rapists if they so much as see a woman's ankle and blame victims of assault for what they were wearing.
