Quora Question: "What happened to clothing after WWII?" Someone answered...(You guessed it) The Bikini

Definitely a European phenomenon, it was slow to gain traction in the US. But can the Bikini survive the worldwide epidemic of obesity? I can see the dry, woke, socialist mentality wanting to rule it out as a "relic of capitalist exploitation and cis-male gender-role dictatorship."

Ayn Rand once used the phrase (I forget in what context), "... a nudity worth revealing." The Bikini allows a woman the option of this form of expression without going totally nude--if she's up to it and can enjoy it. Still daring IMHO.

    I think Bikini's were a real morale builder. My own father attended an exhibition sponsored by his Golf Club members. I was modeling a darling white one piece bathing suit and my roommate came out in a bikini. You should have seen the applause she got, and he yelled at me, 'Don't go near the water!' I reported his behaviour to mother.
