67-year-old grandma wears bikini to her 19-year-old granddaughter's birthday party, gets scolded by her 44-year-old daughter: 'Brigitte told me it was inappropriate for a woman my age to wear that in front a bunch of college-aged youngsters'

Women are constantly policed about what we wear, no matter what age we are. I was being told my shorts were too short before I was even double digits. Even if someone doesn't directly say, "You need to change into different clothing," women and girls are judged and heavily socially encouraged to dress a specific way. If we're not being policed by others, we're telling ourselves, "It would be absurd for a woman of my size to wear something so bright" or "If I wear this, everyone will think that I think I'm 20 years younger than I am…which I don't think!" The world would be so much better if we just wore whatever we wanted to wear and chanced the consequences. Imagine how much more peaceful life would be if your mom never commented on someone wearing a crop top that she thinks doesn't look good in a crop top.

The grandma in this story was trying to embrace her teenage granddaughter's ideas about who is allowed to wear a bikini. This 19-year-old believes there's no age limit on this specific bathing garment, but her aunt disagrees. She thinks it's unseemly for a woman in her late 60s to wear a two piece bathing suit, and she makes her opinion known.
