Pirate Queen Anne Bonny's Famous Victim Reveal Tactic

The pirate queens of the Caribbean Anne Bonny who dressed as men and 'fought like warriors' would expose their breasts to their dying victims to reveal they had been vanquished by a woman

The meme consists of explanatory text at the top sharing a historical fact about 18th century Caribbean pirate queen Anne Bonny: she regularly dressed as a man to fight in battles, and would expose her breasts to her dying victims to inform them they had been defeated by a woman. Below the text is a vintage hand-colored historical illustration depicting this scene: Anne Bonny stands on a tropical sandy beach holding a dagger, her shirt partially open to expose her chest as she looks down at a bloodied, injured male victim lying on the sand. Discarded pirate weapons including a cutlass and pistol, plus hats, lie on the sand around the pair, palm trees are visible near the shoreline in the background, and two additional men in a small boat can be seen in the distant background near the water.

This meme was originally shared on the social platform 9Gag with the original title 'Guys...'. It pairs a widely circulated popular historical fact about famous pirate Anne Bonny with a classic 19th century artist's illustration of the described event, edited to add the explanatory text at the top for social media sharing as a lighthearted fun historical fact meme.
