Girl[edit]
Re : (Reverted good faith edits by Staszek Lem (talk): Um, what? girls are underage females, women are adults. the pictures featured adults
- Words usually have several meanings. These women in the pictures are called "girls", which is an informal term of familiarity for young women. The article is called "sweater girl", not "sweater women". Staszek Lem (talk) 20:42, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
- "Girl" in the English I know only refers to non-adult females. I didn't propose changing the iconic title, only added a bit of word variety while speaking non-colloquially about attractive women in a way that is not unnecessarily demeaning. Whatever the source of the edit, it seemed -- and seems valid to me. - JeffJonez (talk) 16:07, 7 March 2017 (UTC)
- If this the only English you know, then I suggest you to look up a couple of major dictionaries. They are available online. If you don't know how to find them, I will gladly copy them for you here. I fail to see how the word "girl" is demeaning in the context of this article. Of course, one may readily find hardcore feminists for which the word "woman" is demeaning, while for others "female" is demeaning. "Girl" is a traditional reference for young women in entertainment industry. Staszek Lem (talk)

Madonna paragraph[edit]
This paragraph is about the bullet bra, and thus seems to be off topic: "Interest in the bullet bra revived after Madonna wore a cone bra during her 1990 Blond Ambition World Tour.[4] The bra was designed by Jean Paul Gaultier who was inspired by the vintage Perma-Lift bullet bra of the 1940s. By that time, the style was regarded as erotic and provocative. The bullet bra has also become popular with burlesque and rockabilly enthusiasts, both of which draw inspiration from the 1950s."
Should it be deleted and/or revised to better address the topic? -- Preceding unsigned comment added by Moomat (talk o contribs) 19:14, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
