The dutch destroyed Bali. Women used to go bare breasted in Bali before the dutch brought in their women with long skirts, sleeves, hat and gloves and civilised the fuck out of the balinese people.
- graemep 2y agoFrom what I have seen it is now mostly Australian women who go bare breasted in Bali.
- Detrytus 2y agoWell, the same custom is present in Spanish beaches, but this is actually a double-edged sword. Once a woman starts showing their breasts she will continue to do so until her death. Some things you'll see in Spain cannot be unseen.
- rvense 2y agoThey're not showing their breasts for you to look at. They're taking clothes off because it's hot.
- richrichie 2y agoI think it is a bit of both. In the corporate world, cleavage showing is a deliberate strategy employed to grease the wheels. Women know how to leverage their breasts.
- Detrytus 2y agoWell, unless you posses a superhuman ability to walk around with your eyes closed sometimes it is simply impossible not to see some breasts against your will.
- parl_match 2y agoYou seem to be under the mis-impression that it's about you or that they care about you.
- Detrytus 2y agoYou're overthinking it :) My original comment was just a reply to a guy who said "Bali used to be great, because women used to show their breasts", and I was like "believe me, some breasts you'd rather not see". I really do not care why women show their breasts, I just do not want to be traumatized by it :P
- rvense 2y agoEh, I think "traumatized" is a strong word to use when somebody is just trying to exist in the heat with the body they have.
- parl_match 2y ago"traumatized" by seeing breasts? my brother in christ you need a therapist
- AmericanChopper 2y agoI’m pretty sure it’s the tourism that destroyed Bali. There’s plenty of videos and photos showing Balinese living traditional lifestyles in mid to late 20th century. The Dutch colonisation of Indonesia is actually notable for how little they tried to integrate the cultures.
