Yeah he got sporked

you say that like if 20 million people body shamed julia gillard it wouldn’t be the guardians top story of the year, biggest outrage and constantly reinforced under every article about sexism and double standards since then

was anyone bringing in bylaws to prevent men wearing them?

I duno, was there any demand for one? Is a shirtless guy wearing underwear equivalent to young girls running around near nude?

I duno why i’m even here, i never even go on the beach

edit: it looks like they are both banned anyway

“Thongs and G-string swimwear is not acceptable for males or females when visiting our leisure centres."

Australia had a long history of policing women’s bodies

Blue Mountains Leisure Centres is saying that men can't wear them either?? How did this go from men and women can't wear this to just women are impacted?
