This is far from ready to be published, Westrim. I find the opposite of this double standard hundreds of times more often than I find this double standard. I've even complained to Bing because using Bing search engines, I nearly always find pictures of naked women. I could be doing a search for cute kittens and I'll get naked women. All this double standard depends entirely on the culture you grew up in and the attitudes of the people who make the media. I have a nudist friendly attitude that doesn't see nudity as sexual. I've seen enough nudity of both male and female kinds that I neither lust after it nor freak out over it anymore. This trope sounds like it was written by a horny teenage boy who just wants to complain because he hasn't seen enough female nudity yet. It's heavily biased and does not represent what is typical in the media, which is that female nudity is still many times more common than male nudity. The only exception to this is as Wu mentioned, women have a much larger "unacceptable area" than men. But if that is the trope, the title and description need to be changed to reflect that. Perhaps the title should be BloomersAndBoxers or DoubleStandardModesty so that it isn't about which one is naked but about how much of the naked body is censored. That is, women are depicted naked more often than men are but when they are depicted, it is usually as a silhouette or behind a screen. While the very rare times the male is naked, nearly 99% of his body is shown.
