Bikinis vs Bras: The Mystery

I have been pondering something for awhile and I can never figure out the answer. Why is not socially acceptable for women to walk around in their bras and panties? Isn't wearing a bikini at the beach the same thing? I look at a bikini top and bottom being the equivalent of a bra and panties. I know the bikini top isn't for support but more for concealment and looks. Nobody really judges women's bathing suit attire but if a woman is wearing something revealing on the street she is looked at as slutty.

There is definitely a double standard going on here or something equivalent to that. I'm not sure if I'm using the double standard principle correctly here. Men are always trying to get a woman down to their bras and panties. Wouldn't it be less work just to go to the beach?

If a woman walked down the street in her bra and panties, you would think it was odd. But if she walked down the street in a bikini then it's perfectly acceptable. That just doesn't make sense in my head. Both attires are covering up the same parts.

People are half naked at the beach and it's normal. When a guy has his shirt off anywhere else it just seems kind of douchey and creepy. Society is strange. Am I wrong?

Ok, times up!

It's Amanda Bynes (if you didn't know or can't read.) I remember her from the Nickelodeon show All That. I can't picture her all grown up and stuff. She has grown up to be an attractive woman. I never thought watching Nickelodeon that she would grow up to be kind of hot. Now she is 23 and fair game for anyone in my generation (I'm 25.) Who's next, Dakota Fanning?
