Hi Mary, Save for the sexist fact that it was actually men talking about women's "fashions" ... your comment glosses over the key point.
In any culture "what people like" (men or women) is related to what that culture "expects of them". Patterns of quality evolve. Burkha's and Bikini's were just a metaphor for that point - cultural expectations. (Oh and yes, I agree with John when it comes to the natural benefits of sunshine .... but that's another subject.)
