thanks a lot, science

a brilliant study has used extensive brain scans and social testing to confirm what most people would never have known:
men objectify women in bikinis.
ask any guy. of course we won't come out and say "yes, i tend to objectify women in revealing clothing" but it's in our dna. we are animals, and one of our primary driving forces is reproduction. when we see a girl wearing practically nothing, of course our brain thinks about "tool use" because we want to hit her over the head with a club, build her a nice hut, and make lots of babies with her. ok maybe that mentality is a bit archaic. but the basics have not changed much in a few thousand years.
women do not wear these kinds of skimpy outfits if they do not want to be noticed sexually. unless they just hate their parents.
but when she dons the latest two-piece loincloth, she can't expect men to take her seriously.

i think i can speak for all my hetero male human friends when i say, i've never spotted a hot girl on a beach and thought,
"wow, i bet she reads the newspaper."

great, now i'm a misogynist.
wait, let me hold the door for you! i'm not a jerk!
i respect womennnnnnnnnnnn
