A New Zealand mother who is fed up with seeing women in G-string bikinis at a local swimming spot where she often takes her kids has been ridiculed online for her 'prudish' views. Kayla Edwards reached out to her social media network to suggest a sign at the local swimming pool to ban 'inappropriate swimwear'. The mother-of-three said she and her family felt uncomfortable swimming there now because of a spike in women wearing barely-there bikinis, and that her husband 'hated' seeing it. Ms Edwards was hoping her post would garner support from other women who were sick of seeing the swimwear Do you think g-string bikinis and other "inappropriate" swimwear should be banned?

Last summer, a woman took to Twitter calling for "childless couples" and "immature millennials" who "need to be BANNED" from Disney World, because she feels they ruin the "family amusement park" (which, by the way is open to everyone) by wearing "slutty shorts" and buying a pretzel that her three-year-old son also wanted. The reaction, of course, wasn't very supportive, with most calling her the immature one. Do you think that she was serious, or just wanted to vent?
