to think your arse cheeks should be WITHIN your shorts, rather than hanging out.

Just walked up a hill behind 2 of the (much) younger generation.

It is a hot day. Shorts are good. But these girls in front of me had shorts of a length I would have regarded PE knickers to be in the late 80's /90's.

Is this a 'thing' now, to have your arse cheeks on display? I thought outer clothing was meant to cover them. AIBU?

[IamHereButAreYouThere]

a lot of clothing for girls and women is manufactured with the male gaze in mind, fashions introduced which are particularly revealing. It's not surprising a lot of girls wear shorts such as those being talked of here as they're so commonplace. There's a wider culture where clothing for girls and women is often designed to give less coverage.

I agree with you.

What a thoroughly ridiculous post and terrible way to speak of teenage girls.

[SomeOtherFuckers]

Yeah they've been doing it a few years now .. I do prefer a covered cheek but teens will be teens

Not pretty anywhere on anyone, whatever shape.

Put them away.

YANBU, i hate having to walk behind people who have their arse cheeks out. Men or women. I've only ever seen flabby arses hanging out, even when they are teen girls, still flabby arses.

I’m all for women wearing whatever they want and for it not to be considered ‘asking for it’ or to be subject to nasty or uncomfortable comments. But as this isn’t aimed at anyone in particular I feel comfortable saying my personal opinion which is yes, it looks cheap, tacky and certainly has a statement - one of, let’s skip coffee and make a sex tape. But if that’s how you want to be perceived, it’s your right to do so and without harassment. It doesn’t mean I’m going to validate your bad taste though.
