You go to the beach, and girls wear a bikini that looks like three strategically-placed Doritos and a pipe cleaner in the back.
This is a common notion among women, in that they display practically EVERYTHING, yet think they're saving their vaginal slit and their areola for that special someone to see.
Granted, I'm not referring to every women, but those who wear hardly anything are a little perplexing to say the least.

Bitter?
How could I be bitter with this outfit on?

Where I grew up toplessness was the norm. I don't view my body as an object or degrading and those who do, it's their problem, not mine...my only obligation to live my life the way I want to and according to how I view myself.
I don't mind and care about men looking. If I care about the person or think highly of him, I'm flattered that he'd find me attractive. Being intimate with someone is special, but I wouldn't call it a privilege, as it would be a mutual privilege to enjoy being intimate with each other. Not sure about the superiority/princess attitude of being a "privilege" for someone. Either the men are not too hot and can't be seen as equal or there is a princess castle I was excluded from.

I agree. Even if I was 22, I would not wear doritos and a pipe cleaner. I'd be afraid something would get loose.
Look at the pro-football 'cheerleaders' of today compared with the originals of the early to mid seventies. Today they glue the 'costumes' on so something doesn't pop out! The originals were cheerleaders not show girls.

The first thing is about fashion (think - fashion - good - which is in fashion a 1 piece or a bikini - does my bum look big in this)
The second thing is about moral standards and all those other happy circumstances that mean some women spend far too long choosing who to go to bed with instead of enjoying themselves more.

Bikinis are like a marketing campaign. If you could see everything, you might not want to get to know the woman, preferring to just keep the sunglasses on and ogle and giggle.
But with the bikini on, it makes a man want to know more.
And the chase begins!

This reminds me of the whole Super Bowl Janet Jackson Justin Timberlake incident.
You see celebrities with the bottom, sides, and top of their breasts exposed all of the time. But to see them all at once sent the evangelicals into apoplectics. After all, she had a pasty on, so you couldn't see her nipple.

LOL! You have a point. I wonder if your reference to "privilege" was taken from my answer to Lioness' question regarding whether or not women would choose to pose in Playboy? At any rate, you won't see me walking around in a "dorito and a pipe cleaner..."- even if I had the body to do so. Despite the question I just posted regarding Playgirl magazine, I'd like to point out that I think the objectification of men or women both is deplorable. I just wanted to see what people would say as to why the discrepancies between the magazines. Seems men have a bit more self-respect than do women...which is something for women to think about.

I live near the beach, surfing and swimming in clothes is not very comfy. I usually wear a bikini top and board shorts, and if men look...oh well who cares. Its not like their going to touch me, its mostly harmless men with nothing better to do...I think its sad.

I think the women who wear those bikinis are the women who wouldn't consider it a privilege if you saw them naked. They are probably the same women who think it is an honor to pose in Playboy.
For me, I wouldn't say privilege is the word that comes to mind. I just feel that there are certain parts of my body that should only be shared with the people that I choose-i.e., my partner in a committed relationship.

Agreed. If you are gonna advertise, then you have no right to claim high morals when the game is up. I totally think it is gross to see that on the beach, even those who can pull it off. Guys, girls, whoever. I have been known to ask people how much they charge, just to make a point. I think that lack of self-respect and objectification have reached all time highs and that it is gross. I don't want to see it, they are not fooling anyone, and there will be nothing special for that 'special' person to see at all. That is the whole thing, taking the mystery or thrill out of something that was once exciting, by selling it cheap on the corner of some pool deck (or worse).

i wear bikinis to the beach but that doesn't mean that il strip down for a guy at the snap of their fingers.
I'm a woman and I'm allowed to show my body if i wish to, its my sexuality and u may interpret it how u like, just because I'm showing some of my body doesn't mean i wanna be naked.
I'm sure it would be more common practise, if we wouldn't get called sluts, and then told we're asking to be raped. maybe its you with problem, guys wear speedos, its a personal choice.
to be intimately involved with someone in some ways is a privileged, if you think of it like that. but just because i like wearing bikinis doesn't mean I'm gonna sleep around
