Bums hanging out of the bottom of teeny tiny shorts

[Noodleschicken]

Don’t know if this really AIBU or a question!
AIBU to think that shorts have become way too short ?
I have seen a LOT of girls in shorts today - with their bum cheeks hanging out the bottom ! Personally I wouldn’t let my daughter out like that. And I wouldn’t were them myself (I would give everyone nightmares !).
so what’s the consensus on bums hanging out of shorts ?

If you don’t like it, don’t look.

It’s the fashion,

I’m on holiday in Switzerland and it’s here too

I hate it. But I also think women should wear what they like. But I also think it’s for the male gaze. But I also… what can you do?

Hard agree. There were a few girls in our town centre yesterday with those shorts on. How can anyone think they look attractive?

Bums have been hanging out of shorts since the late 1980s.

Daisy Dukes anyone?

I don’t think I’d want my naked bum cheeks sitting on dirty tube seats.

The whole point of these shorts is to get people to look.

I don't like it , I wouldn't wear it but it is not my place to judge anyone else.

I wore shorts like this 25 years ago. It’s not a new thing.

Oh they do but probably not the sort of people you want looking at young women. My daughter was in Harrogate recently and said a woman was walking down the street in a thong bikini!!!

Agree entirely, it is fashion but I sometimes think fashion has been infiltrated by the manosphere.

Women should be able to wear what they want but WHY do they want to dress like this?

Good for them, if only I had the body and the youth.

Young women have been pushing these kind of boundaries since Mary Quant gave us the miniskirt

Awful. And no I have never worn shorts with my arse hung out, even as a teenager.
But, people can wear what they want, and that is a hill I will die on!

The usual fatuous answer.

Not my style as I feel my arse should remain out of public view - but each to their own!

Arses are all the rage at the moment. Have you seen butt munch shorts? To me they just look like thrush Petri dishes.

It’s hardly a new thing is it. Very popular year in year out for over a decade!

I don’t think it’s anything new. My best friend used to wear teeny tiny denim shorts back in 1985… My mother was appalled 🤣 but to be fair she had a figure like Kylie Minogue, so she could get away with it.

It annoys me as it’s one extreme to rhe other .. girls/ women so desperate for male attention they want to attract it by wearing unattractive and obviously sexually provocative clothing because some 16 year old has seen it on SM . To women clad in head to toe cover ups because a religion has been interpreted this way by .. men ! Who mostly ignore the same religion requirements for themselves..
common denominator here ..

Yep. And I don't want to sit on a seat that someone's naked bum cheeks have been on. Or sweaty thighs.

It's story as old as time. I rolled up my skirt in the early 90s, and some girls/women want super short shorts now. As PP said, it's for the male gaze, of course, but some people occasionally like having the male gaze and I don't think there is anything wrong with that. Doesn't excuse any sexual violence or unwanted attention.

Driving in Tesco car park on Friday, we found ourselves behind a woman wearing a teeny pleated skirt. We could see her bum cheeks below the hem (she was a stocky young woman, and there was quite a bit of bum visible) and both my partner (female) and I (ditto) exclaimed "I don't think she's wearing pants!"

She suddenly leaned over the trolley her bloke was pushing and we could see she was wearing a thong.

To those saying "Don't look" - I couldn't close my eyes, I was driving.

My opinion - it's not appropriate in public.

Yes, I think the bikini wearing on the high street is a stage too far. Though not sure why.

If it's not your kind of fashion - don't wear it.

However, you don't get to bitch about what other people wear and then expect to be able to make choices for yourself.

Either we choose for ourselves, or we have some sort of forced uniform that is decided by ?who - is that what we want? Clothing forced upon us by others.

This is true. On a recent holiday a lady in a tiny thong bikini sat on a wooden barstool. The staff disinfected it after she moved!
