3) Simultaneously ruin the fun part of the festival by not getting nude and ruin the traditional part of the festival by making it unisex
It's yet another instance of the dichotomy of feminism: liberalise everything old and sacred, but prudify everything titilating and scandalous. Literally the worst combination of both worlds. Rant over

I would see your point - if your rant applied in this case, but I don't think it does, because:
1) women haven't taken over. Men are still doing what they had previously done. Women have now been allowed to join in - by men.
2) I don't know what the ENTIRE or any point of this festival is. I know nothing about the religious, cultural, sexual, gender or clothing symbolism of this festival (let alone this religion) to pass comment or whether a few women have contaminated, desecrated, invalidated or spoilt anything. The men are still doing "their thing", they have not been forced to cover up - so those who like seeing scantily-clad men have not lost anything.
Like you, I'm disapppointed there is no female nudity, but there wasn't any nudity before (not even from the men), so I haven't lost anything. It's not as if previously naked women were now covering up because of "feminism". If my hopes of seeing titties were falsely raised due to misreportingg, then that is not the fault of "feminism" but the excited imagination of pervs like us. Women are under no obligation to get naked or amuse me sexually - sadly.
Anyway, we're getting off topic...
