Totally get that in theory everyone has a right to wear what they wish but even so…I theory I have a right to not have to walk around looking at the floor

Curses. Nether. Not meter.

You don’t need to look at the floor or their crotches/arses. How about pointing your gaze to their faces?

BlueEyedBogWitch · 08/03/2026 12:23

Yeah, it’s a bit much sometimes.

I’d dreading summer and the arse cheeks hanging out of the bottom of shorts 🤢

Why do people wear clothes that reveal and enhance body parts if they don’t want people to look at them?

Where are you hanging out on a Sunday morning? 🤨

BlueEyedBogWitch · 08/03/2026 12:25

And it’s a bit hard to look at someone’s face if you’re walking behind them.

I don’t know.

But I know that I don’t have to stare at them

Bloody hell, what kind of church is this?

You're going to the wrong church then 😂

Bit difficult when you are sat on a bus and the flaming arses of these people waiting to get off are directly in your line of vision. You need to look at the floor or the ceiling.
I had the misfortune once when my totally naked alcoholic first H was very drunk to have to try and stop him sitting on the edge of the bath and pooing into it. The sight of that quite literally comes into my memory every time I see these women flaunting their buttocks to the world. It bemuses me how they have been conned into thinking bums are actually attractive.

What a strange thread.

Ohfuckrucksack · 08/03/2026 12:34

Meh. The right for people to choose what they wear is simply more important than other people's right not to have to move their heads when they see something they don't like.

If you're walking behind them and can't move your head (maybe it's in a brace?) then walk faster.

Aren't people sitting down in church?

I don't think OP said they were.

Nipple showing is also a thing. Why?? Just why?

£72???

I've got a much cheaper option - don't bother with the bra

I always thought that when I saw a lady with protuberant nipples that she was chilly. I didn’t realise you could buy nipple enhancing clothing outside of that little passageway by Berwick St.

What is the world coming to?

Some nipples just resist even several layers of fabric.

Male nipples are frequently on display too - they're just not as useful.

I don't really have a problem with them - probably too many years of exposure to them on TV as a child/young adult.

In particular I have absolute no issue of nipple visibility when breastfeeding - wherever that happens.

C'mon, what kind of church is it? I'm curious. Is it one of those prosperity ones?

I think it’s quite sad really that they are so oblivious to how they really look.

Aha, got you now. I was picturing all kinds of shenanigans down at the local Methodist's - the reality is a lot less interesting. Sorry, op.

Flesh colours scrunch bum leggings in the gym are fascinating. Our entire circuit class were WTAF at a young woman who walked past in them.
Black isn't too bad. The flesh ones are hilarious.
