I think they probably meant “popularising outside of Europe”.

People had such low standards before the information era. She's basically a normal girl nowadays, closer to the low than the high average.

Was it really a trend or just women trying to avoid bikini tan lines…

And it was probably around from when the bikini first came out.

I can't link to it directly because the spam filter in this sub deletes comments with external links but the following incomplete link which can be copied and pasted to your browser and goes to a photo of a woman topless sunbathing on a Cannes, France beach in 1948 (two years after Louis Réard introduced the modern bikini):

Please stop making every post “the first” or “introducing” an idea. It makes the subject look phony and the poster look like an idiot.

The quoted text is the first post ever introducing the idea of not making every post “the first” or “introducing” an idea.

Sorry, english is not my first language. Maybe i chose the wrong words and I certainly didn’t mean she was the first woman ever…just that she was one of the women that made it popular

Not your fault. There have been a lot of posts recently with people claiming Teddy Roosevelt invented the forward pass in American football, or a photo is the oldest, etc., The superlatives take away from the value of the posts.

Funny story.

My parents (adopted me) were on their hunny moon, sometime around 65'. They are in Mazatlan for the trip, and enjoying the beach. This is the time women started wearing two pieces, but my mom wasn't there yet. So, my dad decided to take pictures of my mom at the beach, but in at least two of those pictures. My dad happened to capture two top less ladies in the background 🤣 We still have those pictures to this day. And, now that I'm older... I know the topless ladies were no accident. I find it funny my mom kept them, she said, "It's just who your dad was." RIP BIG DAWG 😅

She is a dumb Islamophobe racist

It makes sense for a woman to hate Islam. With the oppressive nature of women over there. How can one not be disgusted with the shithole that is the middle east?

It’s so crazy. She’s literally called Black and brown people “savages,” that they’re “coming in” and “destroying our way of life.” I’m of Middle Eastern descent - there’s nobody braver than Black and brown Muslim women fighting and mobilizing across the MENA. The women of Iran, for example. But the dorks downvoting us don’t understand - these uprisings are by and large led by Muslim women. Westerners can’t see that, it doesn’t square with their edgelord, “new atheist” Eurocentric worldview. It’s so insane to be told “oh Bardot is racist? So you support global misogyny?” Like, who thinks that way? I guess edgy 17 year olds lol.

Alright? Sooo.. What is the best way to not be racist toward Islamic culture? What do you like most of what men do for women in Islamic countries? What should I do to give support? Maybe I can show the same actions in a 1st world country. See how that goes.

I'll wait. This can take a while since you're typing already at the level that you think. :/
