Someone once pointed out to me that even in movies where the main couple are two men, female nudity is still the most common and sexualized type. Brokeback Mountain had a scene where the male leads were swimming nude that lasted a second or two. In contrast, both Anne Hathaway and Michelle Williams had scenes where they lingered on screen nude. I never saw Call Me By Your Name, but I've heard in that one as well while there are quick nude shots of the male leads an actress playing an underage, teenage girl is nonetheless shown on screen, fully nude for a very extended period of time.

Something about that angers me so much. Even when the women aren't even the focus of the story, even when not a single soul is rooting for them to end up happy, they're still expected to be decorations for the audience.

I am so fed up of this. Like I ranted in another comment, it is so painfully obvious that the female nudity is just there for titillation. But, pretentious people love to act like it is actually for art. Yeah right... I suppose they think that the fact that 90% of nudity involves young women with hairless supermodel bodies is just a complete coincidence. I once read an interview by a Game of Thrones actress where even she thought it was illogical for her character to have no pubic hair. But gotta meet those porno beauty standards, I guess
