Bimbo
is a term that emerged in popular English language usage in the early 20th Century to describe an often attractive, yet clumsy woman. The usage of this term began in the United States as early as 1919. This word derives from the Italian bimbo, a word of masculine gender that means (male) baby or very young (male) child (its feminine equivalent is bimba). Its first usage in English was for stupid men; it now is understood to mean a woman unless modified as male bimbo, himbo, or mimbo.

So bimbo was actually a word used on stupid men, which was misunderstood and used to describe stupid women.
