A few years ago, I was walking with my wife through our town centre. Towards us came a heavily pregnant woman exposed in a similar way to the woman discussed here.

Her belly was covered in stretch marks, and wasn't a pretty sight. As she passed, I couldn't help but stare. She said, "what the eff you looking at?" I replied, "not much, and that's for sure."

Women used to get respect, but many don't do much to deserve it anymore. I may receive flack here for my opinion. Luckily, I don't care. The truth is the truth, and doesn't change, even though attitudes do.
Sometime during the last half of April of 2012, I heard businessman Foster Friess interviewed on television. 'Foster's candidate' for POTUS Rick Santorum had dropped out on April 10th. IIRC, Friess was supporting Gingrich when I saw him interviewed, so the interview had to have been before April 25th, the day Gingrich dropped out. Friess made a comment about birth control being easy in his day.....when a woman could/would hold a quarter between her knees. I remember laughing, and that the interviewer was upset. I didn't know until a few minutes ago (when I looked up Friess' Wikipedia page) that what I observed was a variation on a similar occurrence from when Santorum was still in the race....with the 'prop' being a Bayer aspirin, and with Andrea Mitchell doing the interview. The 'prop' was different, but the point was the same.

Lots of restaurants are desperate for business. They'd take this customer in a heartbeat.

I wouldn't want that thing in my line of vision while dining out.

Oh, good grief. 35 is not ancient.

Didn't say it was, but I don't think 35 year olds need to be going out to eat in crop tops. Especially pregnant ones. Like I said before, are you walking on the beach? Fine. Are you trying to go eat inside a restaurant? Not fine.

Why do some people make it a point online to twist what others say and overreact to it? I'll never understand.

She looks tacky and trashy. That outfit is inappropriate for a restaurant.

Thirty five?! There's no hope. As someone said earlier, pity the child.

To each their own, but I can't imagine being as ruffled by another person's choice of clothing as some of you all.

Checking the restaurant's Face book page - they did offer and apology but as you can see most of the people disagree an apology was due. The restaurant may very well have issued that apology because of fear of the social justice warriors on their business and nothing more.

The lady ???? in question has taken down the picture and has made her page accessible to only friends - so I don't think she was very popular. She just wanted her 15 minutes of fame - unfortunately she didn't get the reaction she wanted.
