The sun is setting on the Gallic bump-ire, and, according to French Elle, the cover-up culprits include the “”pornified” perception of topless women,” skin cancer worries, and, well, far left “activists” FEMEN, whose bare-breasted protests have “politicized” the practice. Or something.
Whatever the reason, the percentage of young French women sunbathing seins nus has now drooped to an oddly appropriate two.
As for the old ones”wasn”t it Sartre who declared that hell is other people’s saggy jugs? See, while younger, more health- (and social media-) conscious gals are keeping their tops tied, the soixante-huitards are still baring it (almost) all. Typically, they”re clinging to yet another symbol of their generation’s old-fashioned “modernity” and low-risk “courage.”
Much as I despise overregulation, breasts really are one”or is that two?”of those objects that should come stamped with “best before” dates.
Since it’s French and all, the women’s liberation “philosophy” behind toplessness never made sense anyhow: “I”m NOT a sex object, as you (and everyone else) can plainly see”and see and see”by my awesome naked boobies!”
Anyhow, Elle is skirting the issue. Being a chronic right-winger, I”m positive that France’s metastasizing Muslim population is mostly to blame for the demise of this once-proud cultural touchstone”precisely because infidel magazines like Elle would never voice such a “fascist” opinion in the first place.
Not that anybody in Paris cares what I think. They aren”t even reading this. They may leave their tops on these days, but I hear they still take August off.
