I could go on a rant against this, I really could, because it smacks of the kind of double-standard conservatism that seems to be applied all to frequently to men's clothing.
TMI?! Mystery?!@? No one seems to complain when women walk around with their tits out and a barely covered ass and vagina, regardless of what shape the woman might be in. I work my ass off in the gym4-5 days a week and run miles and miles around a tennis court hitting the bejeezus out of ball after ball, have a decent body...
ONLY to be forced by some bullshit 'TMI' clause that I have to wear a FUCKING ACRE OF FABRIC when I go to the beach?!?!?!?!?!?



Since you are female...put on THREE Sarongs on top of each other...go swimming, and get out of the water, then tell ALL OF US how comfortable wearing all that wet fabric is. That's your damned 'boardies' and 'Mystery'.
I'm going to say this because it's what I think that would happen to fit what we are seeing with this sentiment: Somewhere, somehow, people became AFRAID of the idea of men having dicks, balls and asses. It's the only explanation for how women are ENCOURAGED to show more on beaches but men are supposed to cover up everything other than ABS and arms.
FUCK THAT. I work hard on my body, but I was BORN WITH A DICK AND BALLS just like women were BORN WITH BOOBS. Tell you what...you wear one of those surfer shirts to the beach ALL THE TIME to cover your boobs, and I'll wear the longest, baggiest pair of board shorts. THEN we'll be even. Until then, the entire 'Mystery' or 'TMI' argument is a bullshit double-standard...and WORSE is that it's managed to infect a lot of GAY MEN. Ugh...I've been following this thread try to hold back a response for a day or so now. But...there ya go. :redface:
