Default Digambaras/Jainism regarding nudity of men. Why its not possible for women being nake

Dear all, why is it not possible for women, being acceptable getting naked in society? Though men goes accordingly and believe that this is natural.

Though my my heredity, I am partly a Jain- a Digambari actually.... and I understand your point.
I am against nudity, and I think they should at least wear a loin cloth....

But on another note- their life is hard... really really hard. They stay without clothes through harsh winters and their food is limited. They dint even cut their hair- they pull it out.

So if you want to meet a Digambari sadhu, you need to grow up to that level to understand that they do not wear clothes. If you are repelled by this fact, then it is understood... and so you should not go meet them

Why do women wear clothes? Well... female DagmarAridhus have a white cloth that they drape around them in the form of sari... you can easily udnerstand that, since they don't want men lusting over them- its obvious
Generally women do not lust over naked men, so male sadhus are naked.... but yes, I would support a loincloth

Keep the Law under Grace.

The Moral Law(Ten Commandments) was given to Israel in trust for all mankind. It has never been abrogated but IA as unchangeable as its author, being based on our essential relationships to Him and our fellow men, and it is of perpetual and universal obligation(Matthew 5:17-20).

Exodus 20:8

"REMEMBER THE SABBATH(Saturday) DAY, TO KEEP IT HOLY."

Jesus observed the Sabbath day of his own people. It was his custom yo keep the Sabbath day Holy(Luke 4:16).

The Great Teacher never intimated that the Sabbath was a ceremonial ordinance or exclusive to the Jewish people. The Sabbath was given to all mankind.

It is evident that Christ did not change the Sabbath in the New Testament. Nor did he set the seventh-day of the week aside. Nowhere in the Bible is it stated that worship should be changed from Saturday to Sunday. The Bible declares that we should keep Holy the Sabbath Day.

I heard that the Digamabras is to exhibit truly to the world that they transcend all the worldly material & bodily pleasure.

Their mental attitude is not affected by external influences which can be verified by anyone is the concept behind such Nudity. More precisely, their body parts are not affected by external influences is proved by their nudity.
