Would this have offended you? DP comment in shop

DP and I were doing a shop yesterday afternoon and walked down an aisle where we passed a woman who was picking something up for her child. She was in these sort of tight fitting trousers which were very flattering for her admittedly lovely backside.

When we passed and were out of earshot, DP turned to me and asked if I could buy trousers like that. I asked if he knew what the style was called and he said he didn’t , but he ‘just liked the view’.

He knows I am slightly self conscious with my weight, and wouldn’t wear anything really tight.

I suppose what I’m asking is, I think he wasn’t making an observation at her fashion choice, but was being sleazy about her appearance and made me feel bad in the process. Would you have been offended at this too?

They're not just clothes.

They're a style of tight trousers that draws attention to a woman's bum.

And . .

Most women's clothes are designed to draw attention to parts of our bodies.

That's why we wear tight, revealing clothes. Dresses that show off our tits or our legs . . .

And...

So it's not the same as a car, is it, unless you drive a car that shows off your tits.

Yes. He did say that. And I've been through pretty much exactly these questions with you before.

I'm not sure why you keep asking me to repeat what I've already said. Yet here we are again.
