How dare (Australian) country young people have fun and do things unapproved by the nanny state. The woke police would like a word. "Return of Elmore's [proudly unwoke] rebranded Bachelors and Spinsters ball met with celebrations but also safety concerns". People legit meet their partners at this. (archive.is)

"The peer pressure is immense and in those moments a woman can feel under tremendous pressure to comply, to be accepted."

Now, obviously, you could disapprove of a wet t-shirt contest particularly for any number of reasons, some feminist some not. You could even go all the way in the other direction and—channeling what I imagine Imp might say here—call a wet t-shirt contest a plot by women to manipulate men by showing off their assets.

But you could paste that specific objection onto almost anything. Going to an amusement park with your friends and riding a ride you don’t want to. Doing something frightening like a rope swing into a lake, or the high dive at the pool.

A large part of being mature is learning how to resist peer pressure and set boundaries, but another large part is learning when it’s okay to step out of your comfort zone. Never experiencing pressure is unrealistic; resisting bad pressures and minimizing your exposure to bad pressures is appropriate. People who say stuff like this want the entire world to be responsible for their choices instead of themselves.
