I dont like bikinis and wouldnt wear one even if I was skinny, but if bikinis are socially acceptable for skinny women they should be socially acceptable for all women who want to wear them. Our cultural discussion of fat bodies and how we clothe them has nothing to do with health concerns, the obesity epidemic or the comfort of fat people. It has everything to do with what we expect from women, what weve been told by the fashion industry and the value we place on perfect bodies. The reason these people do not want to see a fat body in a bikini is because traditionally, that garment is something a woman earns by proving herself attractive enough to exist. If fat women begin wearing them without shame or fear, whats next? Will they have self-esteem? Will they demand respect? Then what will keep them in their proper place? huffingtonpost/jenny-trout/i-wore-a-bikini-and-nothing-happened_b_5546206.html
