Male performers aren't asked to do the same thing, except in very rare circumstances.

Really? How about re-examining that idea?

Male and female breasts & nipples are the same damned organ, but they're not equally represented in cinema. Men & boys can appear topless at any time in any movie and that's okay, but girls are almost never seen topless, and women are generally only seen topless in bedroom & bathing scenes.

As for genitals, while it's not too hard to recall some "famous dongs" from mainstream cinema, I can't really think of any famous labia from mainstream cinema at all. Camera angles, dim lighting, pubic hair and/or merkins always keep the vulva pretty well hidden. So while many actresses have flitted & twirled past the camera with no pants on, few (if any) have actually had their genitals on show the way the boys have.

So if we want to make a big deal out of female nudity specifically, we'd have to claim that: * Men are seen topless more frequently than women, but female breasts are a bigger deal because they're more prominent. * Female genitals are not as prominent as male genitals, but female genitals are a bigger deal because they're seen more frequently.

Can you see how that's a double standard?

A lot of guys out there (and I mean a LOT) are so unbelievably fucking creepy about seeing actresses naked.

Yes, men and women alike are often very creepy or mean towards celebrities.

But who becomes a successful actor accidentally? They've all made a conscious decision to become famous, and the price of fame includes pervy fans, scornful detractors, scandals & scuttlebutt.

It seems to me that if Amber Heard didn't want to appear naked on screen, she should've said no to the script. Or if she really wants that sort of acting role, she should learn to ignore the scuttlebutt and just get on with her job. You can't have it both ways, and be both a serious actor and a delicate princess.
