"Well it's certainly been interesting reading the comments of the lipstick feminists. I suppose they would agree that stripping is empowering to women as well. That's some funny shit."

Um, what? Are you just sorry we aren't telling you that you SHOULD beat up on your alleged friend for getting in a bikini for a party? Are you just sad that we're not all a bunch of judgmental people who want to join in your pearl-clutching party? Are you sad that we think any guy who gets leery at a party and makes a move on the hot bikini mama probably would do that because he is a freak, not because her bikini made him do it?

No, you're just sad.

"Lipstick feminists." Sheesh. What are you? Some kind of ideological throwback ala the 1950s or Andrea Dworkin/Catherine MacKinnon because I can honestly not tell here and you would think that would be easy.

What's sad is the blatant hypocrisy here. I KNOW for a fact that if she jumps in a hot tub with other married couples, wearing a two piece when the majority of the married gals have on a one piece, that those wives will slander her name behind her back from now to eternity. Women are like that. I've seen it too often. Not the way it should be, just the way it is.

It's also kinda sad that you think if a man leers at a woman in a bikini that he's a freak. You can't have it both ways. If you're going to put your body on display, leaving little to the imagination, then you better expect some leering......if your body is leerable.
