I mean, yeah women are being sexualised. But they are also well within their rights to be confident and proud of their bodies. Last comment had it right - there is a wider issue, but a bikini ban would never address it.

We had a great advert on a while ago that did this better - togs, togs, undies. Think it was an ice cream ad?

Women are gonna be sexualised regardless, I suspect. Wherever the line is drawn, give it a generation or two and men and WLWs will be all about women wearing one step below that line.

Mr Grace first made his concerns known ... saying he had become distracted by women wearing triangle bikinis.

I'm distracted by their thighs, they should wear knee-length skirts. Oh no, now I'm horny looking at their toned calf. And ankles, let's not forget those sexy ankles.

You know what, maybe they should just be required to cover everything up, but their eyes. But then again, those curly, luscious lashes. Hmmm...

Better those who are offended gouge out their eyes than oppress others.

That’s the biblical way!

Nape of the neck being sexualized due to Japanese kimonos. We need to ban these abhorrent neck revealing robes and wrap up women's entire neck.

Up next, we have to stop all this Niqab and burka porn!

Reminds me of this (trigger warning for rape):

https://today.tamu.edu/2019/11/19/what-were-you-wearing-exhibit-explores-sexual-violence-myth/

It's is/was an exhibition (set of exhibitions?) which showed what victims were wearing when they were raped.

The whole victim blaming shit is toxic.

Thanks mister Brydon

Seems pretty clear from Grace's statements that he's the one objectifying these women.

Seems to me he needs to take a long look at his own thoughts and reorder them before demanding others accede to his demands.

I love how the whole reasoning given is that the fucker can't stop himself from oogling women's butts, so they ought to not show them to him because clearly they are at fault here.

...

Why exactly did we stop taring and feathering people?

This was covered quite early on when Jesus said to pluck out your eyeball if someone was too tempting to look at. Unless the woman is coming into your home uninvited, then she can wear what she likes.

[–] sirdorius@programming.dev 19 points 9 months ago

It's funny how Jesus was actually more reasonable than most conservatives today. If only they actually bothered to read him

This is a cause I can get behind.

For context, this is Australia's go-to place for beaches

[–] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 16 points 9 months ago

For context, butts.

[–] DontTreadOnBigfoot@lemmy.world 15 points 9 months ago

Yes... yes. My plan is working perfectly

Bring in the Burka, it's the only way we can protect the women. /s

[–] VampyreOfNazareth@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago

He likes them fully panted with cock & balls

[–] xx3rawr@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago

You fools! This was his plan all along! He wanted to see a lot butts that day.

[–] bedrooms@kbin.social -1 points 9 months ago
