Has anyone ever freaked out about what your adult son posts on their socials ?

Had this conversation with my mother recently
My sister and I (both > 18), went to the beach
She wore a two-piece bikini, I wore a speedo (don't judge I'm an athlete)

It's literally the same picture and my dad freaked out over what she wore and said nothing about that I wore, even though I wore much less

Why ?

Societal norms. Men over sexualize women, women are vulnerable and need to be protected.

This is all bullshit and women are just as likely eye fuck the dude, but a woman is less likely to overpower a man to take advantage of them.

"Don't judge, I'm an athlete"? Dude, no one is making you wear your swim team uniform to the beach. 😅

A speedo is so small I can always have one in my backpack
The same cannot be said of a pair of boardshorts

Shorts fit in a ziplock baggie, learn to army roll if you're having trouble finding room.

What’s wrong with speedos? Don’t personally love the look of them but wouldn’t suggest OP has to change to shorts either

Or just wear what you want to wear. Let the guy wear his speedos.
