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 ?

I am not offended, just digusted with the implications of the question.

And on a public forum anyone can answer, you must be new to this.

Of all the things there are in the world to worry about strangers fashion choices are pretty low down the list.

It’s hardly a new thing either is it? 1960s?! Anyone remember the 90s lambada craze? A certain type of woman has always tutted about young girls outfits

😂 when you say it like that, it is very odd. It's like saying, lads I can wear whatever I want and you can't stop me so I'm going to parade around with my butt cheeks hanging out. But if you comment on it or come on to me too aggressively, it's game over for you. Ya, I think gender dominance is a part of it alright. I hope they are actually wearing it for themselves like they say

I don't like it, no need for everyone to see your arse, same with topless men, put it away

I think it's lovely that women in the UK can wear whatever they like without judgement.......oh wait.

Those are going to need a boil wash... 😬

Unfortunately, feminism has somehow taught generations of young girls and women that parading around in public half naked is "Empowering".

When all it does is make young girls and women look cheap and nasty.

Apparently, it's liberating to have your bits out in public. It's even liberating for teens and tweens to dress this way and have grown men gawping at them, or even taking secret pictures. 🙄

We used to call them Daisy Dukes and I wore them out clubbing with those awful white mens bonds singlets tied up under my boobs and boots. I had a banging body then lol. Now at 54 I can't get more than a calf in them. I can't say I would have worn them in the day but times they are a'changin.

Why is it not ok to for women to criticise women? Is this across all aspects of life or purely confined to those areas you deem inappropriate?

I don't want to see the arse cheeks of men and teenage boys hanging out of teeny tiny shorts while they strut about the high street, or their bulges in skin tight leggings, and my bar is set no differently for women.

Obviously though, it's women and girls catering to the male gaze or generally putting their value in their sex appeal, not men and teenage boys who expose themselves like that.

Equally, I don't want to get an eyeful of either men's or women's nipples while out and about.

The bare minimum for civility should be entirely covering one's bottom, one's genitals (in such a way that people can't see the clear outline of said genitals), and covering one's breasts (male or female). It's really not a big ask.

Given the number of times it's been made clear on this thread that young teenage girls are the worst for exposing themselves like this, I always wonder if people who say 'just look away', enjoy looking at young teenage girls' bottoms.

I have to think that they don't really want to look at the half naked bottom of a young teenager, and yet I'm left wondering what point they think they're making by saying if someone is so 'offended' then they should 'look away'.

It implies that they aren't offended, and don't look away...

(And I don't believe that they somehow just don't notice when someone of any age has half their bottom uncovered on the high street).

I just can't help wondering how anybody persuaded young women that it was empowering to expose their buttocks to public view. Why would anybody believe that? Anyway, I feel public buttock baring and display is something best left to other primates like baboons.

Yes, and the swimwear they are referring to is 3 triangles and a shoe string!!!@

Youre right ✅️

I think YABU to be this bothered by a child’s bum

yes, these!! And no, the shorts from the 70ies don’t seem to have looked like that.

They showed a lot of leg but not 3/4 of the wearer‘s arse!!

Thats been a style for about the last 15 years to have the zip and top button undone over turned and showing off sexy underwear to boot. Its foolish and unnecessary.

A child's bum on display!!

Please do elaborate on 'a certain type of woman'.

I think it looks tacky and must be incredibly uncomfortable/sweaty to wear in hot weather.

I also wonder why some women and girls feel the need to expose half of their backside.

It makes me sad that they think that's what they have to do to look 'attractive' and follow the herd in the name of 'fashion'.

It is like they are dressing like they are in a bad rap video and I can't help but think that there is nothing empowering about it and that it is just another case of pandering to the male gaze while thinking it is about body positivity.

That’s their choice. We all wear things we regret. I personally couldn’t care less.

Exactly.

Shes not putting on those because theyre comfy. Ive seen girls on tiktok putting on the booty shorts and turning round to show off before shaking their bums and hooking a leg up

Well, builder‘s crack…

I recently had to sit down on a seat (yes, had to. It was certainly not optional) after having just seen the previous occupant drag half his arse over it. It was quite grim!
