bikini

Stared at my a middle-aged man whilst in a public pool. I was wearing a bikini sat at the edge of a pool with my friend. He was in the pool, treading water about a metre away from us. He noticed that we saw him staring said ‘sorry’ and continued to stare until my friend and I looked at each other, got up and left. We were 14 at the time.

Just read an article about a young woman who noticed, because she took a lot of bikini selfies, that a mole on her stomach was growing, and it turned out to be cancerous. She had it removed and her life was saved, so I’m happy for her. But of course the comments were mostly stuff like “good, now she can focus on saving that hideous makeup,” and “no man will want her because she has tattoos,” “worry about your hideous eyebrows instead,” etc. Never mind that she could have DIED. Her looks are more important than her life, apparently. Disgusting.
