    1. Imagine going back to these days and showing someone Reddit. They’d be like “people just post nudes for all the world to see?” Yes, for free.

    2. I’d love to see their faces if they saw what girls wear these days. Straight to jail.

    3. You can run down the beach barefoot and outrun cops with their shoes on. It’s also crammed with people who look like you. Unfortunately the woman are all shod.

      if you really think about it the entire concept of america is based on a lie and we have never been the thing we claim to be and that is true for democracy and even our supposed free market is basically just corporations or sort of small country like institutions that basically own you for at least eight hours most days of your life sort of like the education system you force your children into where they are basically brainwashed by strangers and nobody has less freedom than children and yet their the main group you force to say their free five mornings out of every week with their not at all pointless ritual of placing their hand over their heart and than dragging god into this and claiming they live in the one country on earth other than israel god blesses so much so he basically told them to bomb everybody else in a pointless mission to steal their land and resources or i mean make them free and if you get tired of winning and having all that freedom it is even illegal to kill yourself in this country.

    5. “Wearing that bathing suit is un-ladylike!”

      [physically grabs woman in a big bearhug and chucks her in a policetruck]

    6. Crazy to think that almost 100 years later, women in some parts of the world are still being told what they can and can’t wear

    7. Woman #1:
      “Say, what’s the big idea, copper? We’re just tryin’ to catch some rays and you’re givin’ us the heave-ho like a couple of cheap grifters. These togs are the cat’s pajamas!”

      Woman #2:
      “Yeah, we ain’t no wet blankets, we’re just out for a swell dip! Quit actin’ like a flat tire—next you’ll be tellin’ us to swim in our Sunday best. This is the bee’s knees, and you mugs can’t tell us otherwise!”

      Man:
      “Now listen here, sisters, those bathing costumes are the limit—too short by a mile. This ain’t Coney Island, and we can’t have every Jane struttin’ about like a sheik’s pet. The board says modest suits only, and if you don’t play ball, you’ll be out on your ear. We’ve got to keep this beach on the up-and-up, see?”

    8. Being insufferable busy bodies is baked into the DNA of the founding fathers. The puritans were so insufferable they left Europe so they could bother and police each other in the New World.

      We must assault and batter people to keep them from wearing clothes we said were not ok

    10. Could you imagine how much of a loser you have to be to arrest a woman for showing too much leg?! Tf dudes lol

    11. There are things we do today that people will look back on in the same way we do these photos.

      See how the women are arresting and harassing the other women. When you have men and your fellow sisters against you how can you win. SMH
