Where in the Hell did the objection to men wearing speedos and women wearing bikinis at public pools and water parks come from? :confused:
I remember they were very common before the late 1990s however some "Moral Majority" and "Family Values" types started aggressively promoting the idea that wearing them in public were some how sinful and immodest. As a result of this illusory campaign, now men are expected to swim in "Boardies" which amount to pajama pants. :bitching:
As a counter protest, I'd like to organize a "Speedofest" and a "Bikininfest" where 100s of 1000s of men and women across the country (and the entire world) go to a pool, water park, or the beach in skimpy swimwear. :bliss:

I can't believe I am going to agree with D2 but he has a point.In the 70s Speedos were fairly common at water parks.Also look at the pro basketball shorts of the time,they were little longer than Speedos.I'm not saying this is right or wrong or anything more than a change of fashion,it is just an interesting change.Why is a bikini on a woman more appropriate than a brief on a man? Why is a jammer more modest than a brief? To see how ideas have changed check out the NSR thread on swimming in pools in the nude,which was a common practice for men and boys until the 70s.
