Cool, how about instead of maintaining a stigma around body odour, we understand different peoples' needs and sensibilities? As much as you and others have a tendency towards overstimulation with smells, (which you can mitigate wearing a facemask), many others have different bodies and skins which smell more, smell less, and are more or less sensitive to different products designed to neutralize and contain smells.
I fully agree against the use of strongly scented perfumes in enclosed spaces, but you're mixing it up with normal bodily functions.
Again, I'm not arguing for a shower ban. Big part of the reason why you're sensitive in particular to body odour is social conditioning, and IG you hadn't been conditioned against it you'd likely find it much more tolerable.
