      you gotta be kidding me?

      you say it like nobody cared about tony abbott when it was the opposite, it was a huge raygun style meme at the time, it was an australia wide ‘please don’t’ and lasted for years and as you have kindly pointed out, still being brought up to this day

          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
