To think scrunch bum leggings look fucking shit

[shockwaze]

Even the name is horrendous

I see Clarkson's managed to re-register again.

What she said.

They're ridiculous but they're just a crap trend, not the collapse of society. There have always been sexualised fashions aimed at young women and some people will like them.

Leave them, ignore them, the trend will pass and everyone will be laughing at them in a few years.

😂😂😂

no matter the fact that someone would have to pay me a lot of money for me to even try on a pair of such ugly, uncomfortable and unhygienic leggings.... women should be free to wear what they want. of course societal conditioning may result in women participating in their own exploitation/oppression and the only way to avoid that is to stop judging each other and bring up our daughters and sons to be free thinkers who see through the social conditioning and make true independent choices.

Some look even worse at the front!
Really tacky

You’re wrong. Most aesthetic doctors are women. Plastic surgeons (of which over a third are female anyway) do not only work in cosmetic surgery. Practitioners of Botox, fillers etc. are not surgeons, and the majority of them are women.

The Beauty industry is completely dominated by women. Take some of the biggest beauty brands to launch in the last few years: Charlotte Tilbury, Trinny Woodall, Fenty Beauty, Kylie Cosmetics, Huda Beauty, Pat McGrath, Victoria Beckham - all have female founders.

It is completely batshit to suggest that men dominate the fashion and beauty industry in 2023 and are somehow forcing women to spend time and money on their looks.

Are they designing clothes that hurt or restrict movement though? When women design clothes, they design dresses with pockets, not hobble skirts.

I don't see Trinny peddling leggings that are designed to go up your butt crack either.

No, but they’re behind skincare and make up routines that take hours of women’s lives each week, not to mention hundreds of pounds out of their bank accounts each month.

Men aren’t spending hundreds of pounds and dozens of hours on skincare and make up each month therefore…. patriarchy again?

Or is it simply entrepreneurial women like Trinny Woodall and Huda Kattan making products that enable women to do something they get joy out of?

So, how come women are conditioned to "get joy" out of putting crap on their faces every day and men aren't? And it is conditioning: in other parts of the world we see both sexes in makeup for ceremonies but not worn daily, both sexes wearing kohl, etc.

Who benefits from women putting crap on their faces? And how many really enjoy it versus being scared or ashamed to be seen in public without it? And how come some women resist the conditioning and don't wear it anyway?

I enjoy masturbating. Sex is fun when I can find a man who is remotely competent in bed, which is becoming increasingly rare these days.

It was two rapes that I was less keen on.

Women don't need male attention to thrive. That's a really unhealthy emotional dependancy to encourage there. Who in their right mind encourages women to rely upon men for their self-esteem?

As a small point of fact, as stupid as the leggings look, they don't go up your crack. The ruching is all on the outside.

But you can see two distinct halves, it’s got to be going somewhere.

That's usually pride parades and yes indeed they are drawing attention to their arse for other homosexuals.

Ruching is a fashion crime anyway. These pants just make it really clear that ruching accentuates and doesn't distract the eye at all.

I don't think that mainstream male fashion can be extrapolated from what leathermen wear to Pride.

I don't consider myself a pearl clutcher, but when a garment is so obviously designed to elicit sexual desire it's not prudish to question the appropriateness of such, especially in the gym, school run or Tesco! There's a time and a place FFS!
And are we seriously still questioning that the patriarchy exists?

Cultural history of the buttocks

That wasn't the point the original poster made. It was a female v male thing.

There's nothing wrong in wanting to be seen as sexually attractive to other people, but there's something wrong when this is the primary consideration, irrespective of circumstances. When a woman is doing the school run, or exercising or shopping in Tesco, and especially in the workplace, those are not the appropriate times to be presenting herself in a highly sexualised fashion.
I want the men I come into contact with in daily life to see me as competent, to be listening to what I say, interacting with me as an equal human being - I wouldn't want them to be thinking about shagging me or focusing on my arse, while I'm trying to have a professional conversation.

People have lost the notion of appropriate time and place for certain clothes and behaviour. Although tbh, I'm not convinced there is any appropriate time to wear those leggings.

IMO these scrunch bum leggings are repulsive. I've seen a lot of them ever since lockdown when they first became fashionable.

I live in 'fashionable' a high density inner city area and notice everyone from joggers who are legit exercising to young women just hanging or cyclists, or roaming in the high street wearing them. Notable the actual art students and fashion students are not wearing anything of the sort.

As much as I find them ugly as heck and also feel a bit violated having to unexpectedly look at someone's bum crack and / or labia in detail when I'm minding my own business, the thing that strikes me the most is that anyone is brave enough to wear them! I'm in shock and awe at their confidence and boldness mainly.

Recently I was sitting chatting with a friend on a bench in a very public busy inner city area. A woman walking her dog loitered in front of us for ages in a pair of skin tight shiny satin scrunchy bum shorts. As the dog was sniffing about the edge of our bench her genital area was right up close and personal in our eyeline, I was so shocked to see every aspect of her front and rear parts, she might have well just been naked, every contour and crease, it wasn't so much 'camel toe' as totally graphic.

I'm very used to seeing naked strangers as I do a lot of life drawing but it seemed so extreme and in public, hardly be surprised if she was on the receiving end of all sorts of unwanted attention, I felt like she forced herself on us in fact and it seemed a bit grubby and violating to us. But I was thinking well... how brave! really...

I wish you'd enabled voting, OP!

Yes, yes, a million times yes - they are absolutely repulsive and if they weren't so vile, they'd be hilarious. It's not just the look - it's the thought of where that seam goes and what it does.

I have just returned from the Gym and an exercise class in Brixton, territory of the hip and cool of S London, and can report that not one person was wearing these travesties of taste. I have never seen anyone in that gym wearing them.

A few young women wearing them round the streets in my less fashionable area.

Cat anus leggings

i don’t think they are that popular in S London. The “fashion girls” don’t wear them.

Bleugh. Suitable only for attention seekers and sex workers..😗
