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 ?

Im not talking about topless women, simply notices about what people wear

Not sure I follow. You complain about signs asking men and not women to put shirts on when men and not women go shirtless but you're not suggesting some kind of like for like comparison?

At any rate this hideous trend of naked arses in shops and pubs is pretty new. Hopefully it'll die a swift death (sunburned bums?). If it goes on long enough, shops etc will probably switch to signs saying they have the right to eject anyone who's not dressed appropriately. There are definitely a lot more shirtless men than women with their bums out.

Bar owners want them on the premises for obvious reasons, they might not admit it but it is good for business, men with tops off are generally looking for a fight so they are obviously discouraged because that is bad for business.

Yes. I thought it was blimmin' obvious that we were working on the assumption that the man is willing since the complaint was about women liking attention when it comes from men they like as opposed to men they don't. 'Of Course' men don't have to be attracted to or date anyone either but I really didn't think I had to explain that too.

Flaming Nora.

If that's your concern, then why do so many teenage girls and young women not share that same concern?

Ok, fair enough.

Good point, because they obviously don"t give a flying toss about that concern do they?

Because they’re young, rebellious, and they know what effect it has, but they don’t care?

As many other posters have said though unless you are the "Daisy Duke" type it isn"t having the desired effect, people are making fun of them on the internet now? It is the lack of reality filter that is the fascinating part really, a bit like a fat bald bloke on the beach with a hankie tied round his head thinking he looks like Jason Statham?

But why would a young woman not be bothered by a much older man looking at her in a sexual way? That does not make any sense.

Really surprised Gloriia hasn’t rocked up all guns blazing to obsessively focus on how appalling the language is used be a few

I don't think anyone should have their bum like that. There need to be basic dress standards. Men shouldn't be able to wear whatever they want, either. If a gay man wore shorts like that to appeal to men, that would also be unacceptable .

My daughters classmates wear them. Some of them are still only 9!

This

Brings to mind the 80"s TV show, Mini Pops, quickly cancelled after complaints but there is a line and beyond that line things just get very odd and creepy.

Gosh I remember the days when my Dad accused me of trying to get out of the house without remembering to put my skirt on - his way of telling me my skirt was about as long as a belt!

Sadly, three children and 4 decades later I have neither the confidence or the size 8 body to dare to wear anything that left so little to the imagination. But if I still had both, I'd be wearing teeny-tiny shorts if I wanted to.

What are their parents thinking!

“Male gaze” doesn’t mean they are specifically wearing them for men.
It means that these clothes are designed to be sexually appealing.

Thats why they don’t look “right” on middle aged women, because to the patriarchy we are no longer sexual beings.
It’s the difference between being top less or. at a nudist beach and wearing a tiny high cut thong bikini. Naked is not as sexy as a outfit highlighting your genitalia.

Really? We're not talking about pre-pubescent children at the beach/park or in their garden!

I'd like to know as well!😅

Yes, really. Teenagers are still children.

Lesbians don't in my experience (bi) tend to wear revealing clothing like that, including in settings where they're trying to attract someone.

Whereas gay men are more likely to. No one should wear clothing showing bums etc but part of this is due to people trying to attract men (women and gay men) being more likely to wear revealing stuff as men's attraction is more visually triggered (many exceptions ofc)

they are disgusting, sitting their butt cheeks everywhere in public.

I think a lot of teenage girls are quite naive about men. When I was young none of us thought a 15 year old having a 20 year old boyfriend was weird. We would have had no idea how many men watch "barely legal" or "step daughter" porn. It all went over our heads.

I knew better at that age! But of course parents may have given a bad example, also peer pressure & social media.
