Bill: A Norm-Critical View Of The Body Act

Details

Submitted by[?]: Parti Democratiqué Populaire

Status[?]: passed

Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.

Voting deadline: September 4140

Description[?]:

Parti de Renevoullement de Kanjor shares the view on morality with some of the less conservatively minded, norm critical, left wing and liberal movements.

As clothing is a social construct and a concept created by humans, we believe at least that we should start having a dialogue regarding the attitude to a natural human body. There are still conservative traces in our culture which marginalize nudism and current legislation only allows people to be naked at designated places intended for that purpose. We believe in a norm critical approach and a dialogue regarding this, potentially leading to a less sexualized attitude towards the human body and less shame connected to exposure. The long term benefit would be mothers feeling more confident in breast-feeding publicly, decisions whether or how to dress in a backyard left to people themselves and beneficial effects to gender equality - a less sexualized female body, less shame surrounding the topic of opposite sex as well as increased awareness in younger ages regarding sexuality and opposite sex, benefitting sex-ed.

We understand concerns about this, however this bill would not legalize public masturbation and other forms of sexual harassment as there is another law regulating that. The argument that "children should be protected" is a bit doubtful since the view that sexuality and body parts are something to be ashamed of, is based on old school morality - we are against that being basis for a country's legislation. However, we still respect the differences between regional cultures in our country seeing the south and La Isle being more liberal while the north is more conservative - we believe the ultimate decision should be up to local politicians, understanding local cultures better. It is important to have a general debate surrounding morality, so this is not an official stance-take FOR the legalization of public nudity.

Parti de Renevoullement de Kanjor suggests to the members of the Sénate approval of the bill, proposing the following:

MessageEvery issue has a line. yes, we need civil liberties, but this bill is only a ploy to let local governments have power. They will keep the law, as is, nationally. Therefor, we will vote no, because this law is already and will remain in place.

MessageSeeing it is not really necessary to have a national law regarding this and Soulon officials such as ourselves, have more important stuff to regulate, one could say the PPSK is right in one sense. Yes, it is intended to spark a debate across the country and encourage the État Sénate politicians to start talking more about this. We do not want to force it however on states with more traditional values, it is ultimately up to local politicians who have better understanding of local customs. We have faith in our nation's État politicians, that they can play a constructive role in questioning norms and morality our society is based on. Our country is at the end of the day a country built on the principle of Reason.

MessageWe feel that a national law will be more effective. If there are multiple Etats with different laws, it would create confusion in the national court system, and the fact is that most etats will keep the ban on public nudity. Therefor, we feel that having the national law in place would be more beneficial

MessageYes - however we do not feel that this is truly federal law material. We believe it is reasonable to have federal law regarding obvious offences - that is to say things that obviously impact another individual's liberty, dignity or integrity. This however is debateable - and we most rather want to see such a debate taking place.

The national courts would still be able to handle the cases as we already have local laws across our country. Some towns and cities choose to forbid public drinking for instance, others do not as there is no national law regarding this and federal law technically allows public drinking (based on the Assumption of Liberty Principle). The national court system exists all across our country and a Tondellaise judge may work just nuances differently than a judge in Numineux even though they work for the same authority. They are obliged to be substantially informed about local laws as well as federal law. Seeing there are no major issues today, we do not see what issues would be relevant now.
