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!

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.

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!

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.

He's like, "I'm a AAA pervert and that's the fault of G-strings girls."

And he's making headlines with that statement lmao.
