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 ?

That tube seat fabric looks itchy

For the same reason that we feel it's ok to criticise what men wear, or don't wear....

According to one PP upthread apparently the reason women dress like this is : men : so we're not really criticising women at all.

I don’t think that’s representative of 44 yr olds!

As long as they’re not flesh coloured scrunch bum shorts and got the figure for them I’m not bothered. I wouldn’t wear them myself but hey we were all young once. It’s just the fashion did you never wear hot pants? I did.

FFS.
What if she hadn't been young?

Hmm I own a pair but only wear them on the beach or around the house/garden as they feel a bit wrong! Today at a local park with rivers, waterfalls and swans etc there was a girl who must have been about 13-14 in a thong bikini paddling. It felt so wrong!

It's never a good look, even for someone with an incredible body, it just looks trashy. Short is fine, but no need for arse cheeks hanging out

Young people have always pushed back against their parents, its human nature. Its how fashion has changed.

But for the current generation, there isnt much the generations before havent already done (especially GenX of which I count myself a proud member!) so they either have to dial it right back in a Saffy kind of way or go even more extreme.

Their parents are old and stupid and they need to prove that they are not like their parents so they go to extremes. They will learn, like we all did, that comfy is best!

So you would let your child out of the house with their bum cheeks on display ?

And then they get attention. This is attention

Or they get what they might call 'unwanted attention'. And then theres claim that 'well I didnt want attention'

It's only a bum. Everyone's got one.
I saw a man in a puffa jacket on Thursday, out in 36 degrees. THAT was disturbing.

I see girls with huge back sides on display i admire their cheeks actually lol

I wear quite short shorts, I couldn't care less what people think.

Yes they have. I wonder where it will end, somewhere around the belly button.
I imagine the parents from the 1960’s were shocked too when the mini exploded.
I just don’t see the point in having your bottom on display. I hate seen children in skimpy shorts.

Desperation/need for attention, but if everyone else is doing it it gets harder to stand out so the clothing gets less and less until it just becomes ridiculous and people are laughing at you and making threads online about the sad case they saw on the high street.

I hope you read this @PancakeCloud

Are you usually attracted to women?

Tbf I wore some skimpy outfits in my time. I was a teenager when Britney and Christina wore bra tops and low cut jeans. I obviously copied the trend on occasion as much as my parents hated it.

Round here it’s all the size 16s at it, looks majestic rather than porny.

I have to agree, people only are fine with others showing off their bum cheeks if they are attracted to them.

Which is where my issue comes from. I've seen girls as young as 12 wearing them. Their choice of clothing doesn't make perverted men, but it certainly attracts them.

And no, I'm not blaming girls for what they wear, it's never their fault. Looking at it through a realistic lens means there will likely be some men staring, and I would not want that to happen to my 12 year old!

Overall people can wear what they like (although I'd prefer not to see peoples bits) but I do worry about the trend for younger girls.

WTF has that to do with anything?

Why did you even ask that?

Agreed. Much worse. There's an unpleasant aggressiveness about it.

Female arses, I just think "sooner you than me love"

But I think that generally, the idea is more "look how edgy and daring and fashionable I am" rather than "I want to titillate you and turn you on".

Well, you can't hide a weapon under a singlet can you 🤷🏻

Yes - yes, you’re right. And if a girl wears red lipstick she was asking for it.

Jesus, it’s like feminism never happened.

Me too. Most of us probably did. Which is why I never cared about scrunch bum leggings or trousers with Juicy written on the arse (cannot believe those ugly fuckers are still going), stupid as they all were.

Actual naked arses out in shopping centres, restaurants and parks in cities and urban areas miles away from any body of water does feel different though.
