It\u2019s 2022, and women are still being shamed for what they wear.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s bad enough being shamed by outsiders and people you don\u2019t know, but when the insults come from close friends and family, it\u2019s so much worse.<\/p>\n
When this 22-year-old woman went with her 28-year-old boyfriend on a beach vacation with his family, she did not expect to become a target of such shaming.<\/p>\n
While out on a boat trip, she wore what she thought to be a \u201cmodest\u201d bikini with a cover-up.<\/p>\n
On a Reddit post, she describes the bikini by saying: \u201cThis one is still a bikini, but is full coverage, unlike my others. I know his family can be a little more conservative, so I kept that in mind when packing. I even went over everything I packed with my boyfriend.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, his family did not think so. While on the boat, no one said anything about her bikini, but later in the evening, after many drinks, her boyfriend\u2019s father started making comments about her bikini.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen we were talking about our time on the boat, my bfs dad made a comment about how everyone was staring at me because of my \u2018slutty bikini\u2019\u2026 His mom laughed and said it was fine, that she would wear nothing if she were young again, but then his younger brother said that I basically was wearing nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI defended myself and said it was the most conservative suit I had, and then his older brother said that it didn\u2019t leave anything to the imagination and that if he were single he would have tried to steal me away. That comment made me pretty uncomfortable, and I could tell it made his wife uncomfortable too. I asked if she would wear bikinis on the trip and my bfs dad interrupted and said that she did, but it was different.\u201d<\/p>\n
To add insult to injury, her boyfriend didn\u2019t even come to her defence but instead joined the family.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy bf just laughed along with all of this, didn\u2019t even see anything wrong with it. When I told to him to say something, he said that I did look like I was trying to \u201cget d**ked down.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI know they were just joking, but what they said really bothered me and made me feel uncomfortable. I\u2019m not sure why my bf doesn\u2019t get that. He just keeps saying that they were joking around, but it obviously wasn\u2019t very funny to me so now he\u2019s saying I ruined the trip by moping around the rest of the time\u201d she concludes.<\/p>\n
Reddit users on the AITA group voted her \u201cNot the a**hole\u201d after the posed the question, \u201cAITA for wearing a bikini on my boyfriend\u2019s family trip?\u201d<\/p>\n
