How come in America, any film containing female nudity is automatically rated R?

I always wonder why in America, any film containing even a second of Female nudity gets an automatic R rating, while in other countries, such as Australia, Japan, Canada, UK and many European Countries, the film would only get a PG-13, PG equivilent? Can someone answer this question?|||True a lot of the time, but I do occasionally see nudity in PG13 movies. Airplane was the first I remember.



Though



It mostly has to do with the MPAA. No one serious actually likes the MPAA. They're an anonymous group of parents who tally up swears and boobs, and then arbitrarily choose a rating. Most serious directors in America hate the MPAA because they force them to edit their movies in order to receive "R" ratings. An NC-17 ratings will mean no television commercials, lack of distribution at major stores, and usually a serious blow to the revenue the movie can generate.|||It's the different acceptance in films. In America, we accept violence WAY more than nudity in movies. I don't know why. In Europe, as a example, they accept more of nudity in films as violence isn't that widely accepted much to people in European countries. It just depends on the acceptance of the people in different countries.|||Your premise is not true. There are PG-13 movies that contain nudity. However the general rule is that it must not be in a sexual context and must be very brief.|||Culturally, nudity is a bigger deal here. No American mother wants her 13 year old child to have access to movies with naked women.|||No idea, its funny how there rated R for restricted so NOONE under 18 or 19 or 21? can so see that movie. But then they have guns legal........ weird!|||Because bewbies are BAD!
