        @aral @ejpbruel I agree it sexualises the concept however I don't see it amounts to sexism, there's no discrimination nor stereotyping

        @aral @EverydaySexism It's sexist and a big deal. This is called a microaggression. It reminds women that they are objects. #womansplaining

        @aral There is nothing sexist about it. Silly posts like this degrade your Indie project in my view. Should it be called mankini??

        @aral I don't personally see this as a big deal, it depends how you take it I guess. Bikini being an accessory for a model.

        @aral fair point, but if I was a female developer I would take it with a grain of salt. No one is equal, everyone is unique.

        @ayoungh @aral as a female developer you'd be dealing with an awful lot of unsafe places and obnoxious comments. Might shape your views.

        @aral Is it sexism if its true for men too? Male models don't need more that bikini briefs right? #kindaJoking
