Americans are such prudes. The former first lady of France was also a model and she has posed fully nude many, many times. She's a gorgeous woman.

America is a more conservative nation than france. That doesn't make us prudes.
Yes, it does.
Wrong
The US was founded by Puritans, and that Puritan morality runs strong and deep in the US. Because this is a patriarchal society, women bear the brunt of that Puritan ethic. Women are routinely slut shamed in North America. Look at the slut shaming of the woman who stood up and asked that her birth control be covered by her student medical plan. She did nothing but ask, on behalf of fellow students, that the school provide them with birth control coverage, as is required by law.
It was disgusting to watch.
I think the disgust with Fluke or whatever her name was, is she was attending a Ivy League University, which isn't cheap, and she was basically demanding that the American Taxpayer pay her, who was from a relatively wealthy family, for her birth control. It was, and still is, a ridiculous demand.
