Bums hanging out of the bottom of teeny tiny shorts

Loving all the comments suggesting women wear these for men only - erm, there has been a heatwave going on, it is summer... But no, can't be the only reason, right? The lesbians are clearly not really gay either.

I was one of those girls in the 2000s with jeans cut so low you could almost see pubes and a boob tube. I was only 13 so I didn't realise it was supposed to be sexy, I just thought I looked cool. But my mum said it was unbearable walking next to me as older men would be staring and ogling the whole time.

I feel a bit sad now thinking about how naive I was and how "male gaze" I looked.

I'm always amazed when women say "if I had the figure I'd wear that too". There's absolutely no way I'd want to go back to wearing tight, uncomfortable clothing and getting cat called by some sweaty old pervert.

Not like that.

LOL

Harrogate you say? What street was this on exactly? 😝

If you're not attracted to women, why would you care so much?

Also, I didn't ask you, why are you so offended?

Ones I’ve seen are much less material than this. Kind of thong like until half way up the butt, so it just looks naked then more material above.

Yes, as utterly hideous as this fashion is, it's definitely no excuse for harassing anyone.

Listen idk how many skinny summers I have left I’m getting out the batty riders

Also what sort of weirdos even notice what others are wearing to that extent? But if you do and it offends you, look away.

I’m a firm believer in respecting their youth. They’re not trying to turn on weird men, they’re just exploring their choices, discovering their sexual identity, it’s not everyday that you get to be 18 to 22.
I don’t like to seeing young children in skimpy shorts, not even because their bottom makes me uncomfortable, there is just too many sick vile people out there that would use the view inappropriately.
They should be free to dress in the latest fashion without weird people assuming that they’re up for sex.

Did they know her?

None of your business what others wear. I wouldn’t wear shorts anyway but I don’t care what others do.

MN loves to judge other women’s choices. And there will be comments about fanny flaps etc. I am genuinely amazed that people get to adulthood without realising people can dress how they like

Ah, I can believe it.

Dear lord, surely not in Harrogate!

Why would you conclude that when humans are sexual creatures that have instincts to procreate. Nearly everything we do has something to do with evolutinary needs to have sex.

You can think you're being edgy and daring but you're fooling yourself if you dont acknowledge that part of that edge and dare is that 'I hope someone will see this and fancy me'. Its usually subconcious which is why a parent should say 'you're not going out dressed like that'

Thats why for years and years people had those boundaries

Now apparently, anything goes.

Me too. Most of us probably did. Which is why I never cared about scrunch bum leggings or trousers with Juicy written on the arse (cannot believe those ugly fuckers are still going), stupid as they all were.

Actual naked arses out in shopping centres, restaurants and parks in cities and urban areas miles away from any body of water does feel different though.

Yes - yes, you’re right. And if a girl wears red lipstick she was asking for it.

Jesus, it’s like feminism never happened.

Well, you can't hide a weapon under a singlet can you 🤷🏻

But I think that generally, the idea is more "look how edgy and daring and fashionable I am" rather than "I want to titillate you and turn you on".

Agreed. Much worse. There's an unpleasant aggressiveness about it.

Female arses, I just think "sooner you than me love"

WTF has that to do with anything?

Why did you even ask that?

I have to agree, people only are fine with others showing off their bum cheeks if they are attracted to them.

Which is where my issue comes from. I've seen girls as young as 12 wearing them. Their choice of clothing doesn't make perverted men, but it certainly attracts them.

And no, I'm not blaming girls for what they wear, it's never their fault. Looking at it through a realistic lens means there will likely be some men staring, and I would not want that to happen to my 12 year old!

Overall people can wear what they like (although I'd prefer not to see peoples bits) but I do worry about the trend for younger girls.

Round here it’s all the size 16s at it, looks majestic rather than porny.
