Toot

The year is 2025 and a Sydney council has taken up policing "acceptable" swimwear for women.

Did the new year roll over a counter and someone is restarting in the 50s?

@PCOWandre

Sounds like they want to ban thongs on men, too. Not clear if naked is acceptable.

@elithebearded Nudity is generally unacceptable in public in Australia with a very small number of crappy nudist beaches -- a number that has declined has some have had their rules changed.

"on men, too" is bullshit given we have zero culture or tradition of men wearing g-strings to public pools and beaches. That's generally reserved for adult environments.

@PCOWandre

I have slightly colored bias by seeing far more scantily clad men than women where I live. Nudist women turn out for anti-nudity laws but it's the naked guys you see when the weather is warm and sunny.

@elithebearded Yeah, pretty much the opposite here. That said, you generally won't see any public nudity in Melbourne. A bit of topless sunbathing in a park but the locals tend to keep something on the bottom.
