The social impact of the thong has been covered extensively in the media, ranging from a ban on wearing thongs to thongs for the underaged. The rise of thong usage has been asserted to be linked by at least one author to a rise of sexualization in society〔Oneil McQuick, (The Sexuality Series ), Page 29, L.I.M Publishing, 2007, ISBN 1-4196-4225-1〕 and a rise in a desire to go unclothed.〔Philo Thelos, (Divine Sex: Liberating Sex from Religious Tradition ), Page 52, Trafford Publishing, 2003, ISBN 1-55395-400-9〕 == Overview == When discussing the trend of wearing thongs Sharon Daugherty comments in her book ''What Guys See That Girls Don't: Or Do They?'' that the fashion industry "may have changed the mindset of our society",〔Sharon Daugherty, (What Guys See That Girls Don't: Or Do They? ), Page 61, Destiny Image Publishers, 2006, ISBN 0-7684-2368-6〕 which was followed by the observation that "the whole idea of wearing so that no panty line or bumps can show isn't substantiated" and that "the thong was created by fashion designers to arouse sexual thoughts(sexual".〔Sharon Daugherty, (What Guys See That Girls Don't: Or Do They? ), Page 63, Destiny Image Publishers, 2006, ISBN 0-7684-2368-6〕 Monica Lewinsky gave evidence during the Lewinsky scandal that she was flirting with Bill Clinton in Leon Panetta's office, and that she lifted he jacket to show him the straps of her thong underwear above her pants. Some of the news media in America used thong underwear as a metonym for smut in the Starr Report.〔(Salon.com - The Thong Show )〕 According to feminist commentator Carrie Lukas, Lewinsky "with her thong-snapping seduction, forever changed the image of the D.C. junior staffer from aspiring policy wonk to sexual temptress."〔 (Preview. )〕 Marketing analysts Marian L. Salzman, Ira Matathia and Ann O'Reilly observed in the book ''Buzz: Harness the Power of Influence and Create Demand'' that thong brands are riding on the wide media coverage of thongs to create buzz.〔Marian L. Salzman, Ira Matathia and Ann O'Reilly, (Buzz: Harness the Power of Influence and Create Demand ), Page 116, John Wiley and Sons, 2003, ISBN 0-471-27345-7〕 Photographer Lauren Greenfield wrote in her book ''Girl Culture'', "Understanding the dialectic between the extreme and the mainstream – the anorexic and the dieter, the stripper and the teenager who bares her midriff or wears a thong – is essential to understanding contemporary feminine identity."〔Lauren Greenfield, (Girl Culture ), Chronicle Books, 2002, ISBN 0-8118-3790-4〕 In 2004, political commentator Cedric Muhammad wrote in essay ''The Thong versus the Veil'', "We wondered at the end of the day, of the two groups of women most prominently featured on American TV these days, who gains more respect for their intellect and spirit – the Afghan woman who is so totally veiled that you can't even see her eyes or the Black woman in the R&B and Hip-Hop video who dances while wearing a bikini and thong?"〔Laura Flanders (ed.), (The W Effect: Bush's War on Women ), Page 181, Feminist Press, 2004, ISBN 1-55861-471-0〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Social impact of thong underwear」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
