The look on the girl’s face says it all. I don’t know what people see as acceptable in this photo.

The photo is old and iconic. It is illustrative of Italian men and their attitude toward women decades ago. May as well go pull down some more confederate statues.

The behavior portrayed by the men in this photo is not acceptable.
Gotta say that the photo itself is acceptable, a great conversation starter.

You may find this interesting. There is a lot behind the story. The photographer (Ruth Orkin) is well credentialed. Perhaps instead of taking the photo down it could have been a learning moment for the libtards.
My expression is not one of distress, that was just how I stalked around the city. I saw myself as Beatrice of Dantes Divine Comedy. You had to walk with complete assurance and maintain a dignity at all times. The last thing you would do would be to look them in the eye and smile. I did not want to encourage them. This image has been interpreted in a sinister way but it was quite the opposite. They were having fun and so was I.
