Horseshit. It's you and Doss who have been trivializing these arguments by talking about freedom to wear bikinis.
Here's an example of the jock arguments shag was talking about:
>This is just one group of hominids deciding that the other, evil
>hominids across the river wear the wrong hat, cut their axes the
>wrong way, or don't have woman dress in the way that we do -- or,
>even worse, have gender-segregated swimming holes. The
>wrong-hat-wearing, wrong-axe-making, non-bikini-having homo habilis
>who believes that swimming holes should be frequented by people of
>different genders is an abomination to Moong, God of Thunder, and he
>shall not be allowed to continue his foul ways! To arms, fellow
>hominids, to arms! I am heartened by the news that some of the
>hominids across the river DO wear the right kind of hats (for all
>hominids have some glimmer of the truth of Moong), in secret -- they
>are being oppressed! We must save them!
And you're complaining about non-serious argument? Da me un break.
