I don't know about before, but twitter is a good avenue for that. There is a fair amount of discussion and it brings people along the spectrum, and importantly Muslim women along the spectrum. One thing it's doing is giving voice to Muslim women in predominantly who either don't wear or have to but don't want to do so. The women who do wear it and say they want to, it gives them an avenue to discuss the reasons free of it being a discussion of what men think they should do, one way or the other. Clearly, imo, Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan under the Taliban are places where they used forcefully for the lessening of women's place in the world. :) the bikini discussion hasn't come up much in my experience. tho talk of how do you enjoy the beach is discussed. I personally do not care bikinis, never have. A one piece is much more comfortable to me for swimming and with my family history of skin cancer, trompping about with extra pale skin in the sun is stupid not wise. :)
