I also learned it's run predominantly by women for "girls, gays and theys" directed towards anyone who is a "leftist who likes to have their tits out."
So...it's an aim to "reclaim" the word bimbo by acting like a bimbo and promoting hyper-femininity, but they want it to not be used as a pejorative term, but more as a term of empowerment? What? Bimbo used to mean dim-witted person who dressed for attention and acted in a hyper-sexualized way, and most women considered it a bad thing to be or to be called...now we're supposed to go back to calling hyper-feminine people bimbos, because that's what a small sub-section of the internet wants? K, sure...let's see how that plays out when guys start calling hyper-feminine women bimbos on the streets...let the offended generation start their campaigns against these evil bastards using a term they want used...
For the record -- no issue with women doing a bit of "bimbofication" to themselves (article says that's what it's called, so sure...), I can get behind women accentuating their womanly features 1000%, but don't go bringing back terms like you're black people trying to reclaim the 'n-word' for themselves. Bimbos weren't persecuted, they were just stereotyped idiots. You want to spout about equality and bring back a pejorative at the same time, don't go getting offended when it's used that way, you bimbos.

The Bimbo Is Back. Like, for Real!
The bimbo hasn't changed much since the term was used in 20th century to describe women and men with diminished intellectual capacities.
