We have an event here called Nude Art LA. The first night is open specifically for nudists. Unfortunately they stopped having shows due to COVID. Looks like they'll be starting up again in 2023.
I recall when I went to Cypress Cove I needed a haircut and went to the salon where most of the clients were women and received one. The staff were all clothed, but I wasn't. No problems. It's a strangely (unpleasant) feeling to be draped in a nylon cape to keep the chopped hair off when I could just walk into a shower afterwards - but it keeps the salon tidy!
In the case of Sherwood Forest and Richard Collins, I can't help but feel that these sorts of pushing the envelope is what results in harsh restrictive laws being passed. That's how it works in most of the USA. There is a value to self-restraint and discretion.
This may be the case in the US, where there seems to be a greater taste for slapping down anyone who steps out of line (despite all the popular movie/TV themes being based on the maverick who goes his/her own way). Both the instances cited are UK, however - neither (nor other, similar, instances have brought about restrictive laws, quite the opposite - both have highlighted the fact that public nudity is legal, something not widely realised.
So much to ponder, but little to say. The idea of the museum tour is appealing. But, would it have global appeal across gender line or would it be a ‘boys night out,
Could it be women feel safe somewhere like a museum/gallery at a specific cultural event where they are wary of more casual events in less structured settings? I’m only a bloke trying out some pop psychology here, so just speculating around that good old “why aren’t there more women in naturism” question ...

There may be a law requiring it. Clipped hair is considered hazardous waste.

I agree with you, Bill.

Well, there were women in attendance at the Barcelona event, as the photos accompanying the article show. I think events like that cross gender lines.
