On the subject of "Speedos = Gay" debate, has anyone ever given thought to the debate about "Women who wear bikinis are hookers".
After all, the ads for hookers all show women in skimpy swimsuits. Never the less, a lot of ordinary women still wear skimpy swimsuits (and short shorts) at the beach and the pools without being stigmatized.
So why are men so paranoid about being labeled as gay for wearing a speedo in public?
This is a classic case of the "Double Standard".
