Bums hanging out of the bottom of teeny tiny shorts

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 ?

Don’t think right of expression means flaunting your backside in public!

If it’s not contravening any laws and it’s just out and about, you don’t get to lay down standards for others though

So… you have reported to the police in the past @Allseeingallknowing ? If against public decency

It's another awful fashion fad. Personally I can't bear bum cracks showing on obese men.there was one on a mobility scooter in front of me. In the gap between the backrest and the seat was a massive bum crack on view. Gross.

I’ve only seen one instance of this. I did think it looked disgusting, as did others who saw her. I was answering the question about why people thought they had the right to police the way people dressed. It wasn’t addressed to me personally.
I was merely saying why they might react as they did.

Ok so you saw a crime and you didn’t report?

Have you always been so over involved in the clothing choices of others?

Good point. But had time to have a good bitch with others about it

Only as much as anyone on this thread. I do find people and their choices interesting though. I would not have allowed my daughter to dress in such a vulgar and provocative way. Fortunately she didn’t want to, and neither did her daughters. They all dress nicely and decently

If the Police don’t attend burglaries etc they’re not going to do anything about a girl flashing her arse! I didn’t say it offended MY decency, I said that’s why others may react as they do. I just thought it was a vulgar and indecent sight. I’m sure plenty conveyed the same to her, not that she cared!

It’s only a crime if it offended public decency- how many more times do I have to say the girl didn’t offend me in a criminal way, she might have other people. Disgusted ,certainly.

When I was in my early 20s the craze was for tweens to wear thongs pulled above their jeans.
i worked in a supermarket and the amount of families that would come in with kids dressed like that. There’s no way my 12/13 year old would be let out the house like that. Just gross 🤮🤮

If you don’t like it, don’t look.

So are you saying if you do like it you’re free to look at all the girls bum cheeks?

Girls today are very uninhibited I’ll give them that.

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

You’d be happy with your daughter going out like that?

BunnyLake · Today 22:32

I guess the ones who approve also enjoy the hairy arse crack look so beloved of the out of condition men. 😬 or is the exposed bum look only okay if you’re female, young and lithe?

I don’t approve of it but I’m a seasoned pearl clutcher anyway 😁 and the hairy arse crack is just 🤢

You were the one mentioning public decency as a way to justify policing people’s clothing,

I am genuinely concerned how some people get through day to day life if they devote so much wrath to an issue that can be sorted by looking away and minding their own business
