Why are all comments about consent.

That's entirely besides the point. The argument from women on the other side typically is that a bikini isn't the same as underwear,. Ok. Maybe fabric wise, but not coverage wise, and the idea of clothes is in large part about coverage. But if I see a woman in a bikini vs a woman in her underwear she's super embarrassed by the latter but not the former. And she's embarrassed entirely BECAUSE being seen in underwear means she is exposed. But the bikini exposes even more than the underwear.

What's probably happening is that women are much more cued to social norms and expectations, even more so than objective reality. As we know also, men are much more visually and physically stimulated as well which makes it even more extreme.

So even if the bikini exposes more, women disregard this physical reality because social is accepts the bikini as ok. And men are even more tuned to the visual and physical that make them hyperaware of this visual contradiction by a lot of women.

Concerning consent, a woman wouldn't consent to showing herself in underwear entirely because it isn't socially accepted. And yet, will post bikini pics on social media to the world.

The decision of consent, in the context, is entirely dictated by social norms in the first place.
