We haven't always considered nudity to be obscene.

Negative attitudes toward nudity evolved with the upper classes as they could afford an interest in fashion. Publicly bathing naked together used to be a regular practice for everyone else.

Adam and Eve by Lucas Cranach the Elder, 1526

When Eve and Adam disobeyed God’s command their eyes were opened, they saw that they were naked. Feeling shame, they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings.

NO SHAME HOODIE

Nude Beauty by Tetsugoro Yorozu, 1912

"Female nudes are an affront to the power of women because it makes them objects of male lust rather than complete human beings."

This is mostly a subset of the "sex is evil" argument, though one focused on a specific target, namely that sex between men and women is evil since the sexual role of males is "dominant" or just plain evil, and female nudes are just an example of male sexual oppression. These arguments are premised on the notion that all or nearly all interactions between people in society are part of a sexual power struggle between males and females and seen through this light, pretty much anything remotely sexual that goes on between men and women (and pretty much anything non-sexual too for that matter) involves male domination over females and this needs to be fought against in a strongly emotional and determined way.
These complaints are sometimes accompanied by concerns over the ratio of male to female artists or models selected for inclusion on the site, and on occasion, these same people sometimes complain about male nudes on the grounds that they illustrate male sexual power and prowess which acts to suppress the freedom of women. - Brian Yoder
