I am upset that you think a bikini is just an excuse to show women as a piece of meat, that is absolutely ridiculous
because men dont make us wear them, we choose to wear them and for so many different reasons
none of them being so we can be seen as a piece of mat
I for one wear a bikini to get a ***ing tan
Yeah...
By that standard, women just being nude is an excuse to make them a "piece of meat" - does that mean every woman is just a piece of meat until they cover up?
Now, as for non-consensual exposure to sexual stuff, bodies aren't inherently sexual. The fact that they're treated like that, I think, just reflects a culture that treats women as okay to attack when they're "underdressed" and that sees male parts as innately threatening for similar reasons - rather than, say, violent misogynists being treated as the problem they are.
On the other hand, non-consensual exposure to explicitly sexual *behaviour* isn't something people should have to deal with.
As a little girl (well before transitioning) I once used a change room, and saw a fully naked, middle aged man. Also as a little girl, I was sexually assaulted - fully clothed, by a fully-clothed peer.
Guess which one was more traumatic?
