Bums hanging out of the bottom of teeny tiny shorts

I think YABU to be this bothered by a child’s bum

Youre right ✅️

Yes, and the swimwear they are referring to is 3 triangles and a shoe string!!!@

I just can't help wondering how anybody persuaded young women that it was empowering to expose their buttocks to public view. Why would anybody believe that? Anyway, I feel public buttock baring and display is something best left to other primates like baboons.

Given the number of times it's been made clear on this thread that young teenage girls are the worst for exposing themselves like this, I always wonder if people who say 'just look away', enjoy looking at young teenage girls' bottoms.

I have to think that they don't really want to look at the half naked bottom of a young teenager, and yet I'm left wondering what point they think they're making by saying if someone is so 'offended' then they should 'look away'.

It implies that they aren't offended, and don't look away...

(And I don't believe that they somehow just don't notice when someone of any age has half their bottom uncovered on the high street).

I don't want to see the arse cheeks of men and teenage boys hanging out of teeny tiny shorts while they strut about the high street, or their bulges in skin tight leggings, and my bar is set no differently for women.

Obviously though, it's women and girls catering to the male gaze or generally putting their value in their sex appeal, not men and teenage boys who expose themselves like that.

Equally, I don't want to get an eyeful of either men's or women's nipples while out and about.

The bare minimum for civility should be entirely covering one's bottom, one's genitals (in such a way that people can't see the clear outline of said genitals), and covering one's breasts (male or female). It's really not a big ask.

Why is it not ok to for women to criticise women? Is this across all aspects of life or purely confined to those areas you deem inappropriate?

We used to call them Daisy Dukes and I wore them out clubbing with those awful white mens bonds singlets tied up under my boobs and boots. I had a banging body then lol. Now at 54 I can't get more than a calf in them. I can't say I would have worn them in the day but times they are a'changin.

Apparently, it's liberating to have your bits out in public. It's even liberating for teens and tweens to dress this way and have grown men gawping at them, or even taking secret pictures. 🙄

Unfortunately, feminism has somehow taught generations of young girls and women that parading around in public half naked is "Empowering".

When all it does is make young girls and women look cheap and nasty.

Those are going to need a boil wash... 😬

I think it's lovely that women in the UK can wear whatever they like without judgement.......oh wait.

I don't like it, no need for everyone to see your arse, same with topless men, put it away

😂 when you say it like that, it is very odd. It's like saying, lads I can wear whatever I want and you can't stop me so I'm going to parade around with my butt cheeks hanging out. But if you comment on it or come on to me too aggressively, it's game over for you. Ya, I think gender dominance is a part of it alright. I hope they are actually wearing it for themselves like they say

It’s hardly a new thing either is it? 1960s?! Anyone remember the 90s lambada craze? A certain type of woman has always tutted about young girls outfits

Of all the things there are in the world to worry about strangers fashion choices are pretty low down the list.

I am not offended, just digusted with the implications of the question.

And on a public forum anyone can answer, you must be new to this.

Yes people can wear what they want, doesnt make it nice for people to have to look at though! and just as people can wear what they want people can find it eww to have to look at! totally agree OP

Well then I'm sure you're very relieved to have the freedom of choice about what you can and cannot wear and are pleased everyone else has the same choice to do what suits them best.

Good points, there must be horrible pressure if you don"t fit the body standards that so many are obsessed with now, as someone said earlier, it is like feminism never happened, but it is young girls who are turning back the clock not men, the slight twist is that they are doing it to assert sexual power and dominance over men (and to compete with other girls) the problem is though that if your whole self worth is based on how many people are checking out your arse you are going to have problems adjusting to areas of life where a personality is required?

I was walking down the road with my 6 year old when, in his very blunt way, he exclaimed “Mommy I think that girl’s shorts are broken. I can see her bum!”
She quickly attempted to cover up 😅

Because the human race likes to observe and discuss how other humans live. And this is a S and B board on a forum aimed at women.

Doesn"t work though if everyone else is doing it, you can"t be "daring" if everyone else in the street has their arse on display, at that point you just become a sheep with it"s arse hanging out like all the other sheep?

Quite frequently. I have Chron’s.

It’s not a good look. I do think people should be able to wear what they like..but…really? Have some decorum
