That is what my post was about and I elaborated on why she had other reasons for posing.
Many people are proud of their bodies, are not ashamed to show them off, and are not forced or co-erced into it. They make good money for it - a bonus. I'm a woman and find pictures of women and men alike nicely done - in any size, beautiful. I'm a people watcher and just appreciate the human form, the differences, the uniqueness of each indifidual. I love animals too - every kind and shape and when they're photographed beautifully - I appreciate that, too. Sometimes it's NOT about sex or exploitation. We'll have to agree to disagree. I think the human form is art, when nicely done. It doesn't bother me a bit. I hope you teach your daughter the difference between real exploitation and the horrible problems many women DO face as compared to a woman willingly baring her body using her own free will.
Our female ancestors fought for the right for women to wear, or not wear whatever they like.
Maybe we could still be going to the beach like this!:
