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 ?

@Peony1985 Yes but the consensus is that it’s nothing to do with male gaze. It’s merely the fashion of youth/ pushing boundaries/ only skin etc etc.

Well yes, you are correct in saying that young women overwhelmingly report that they don't choose their clothes for men, and they also overwhelmingly report that they don't want men looking at them.

So why young women wear so-called 'revealing' clothes will continue to be a mystery to everyone.

Your explanation of "fashion of youth" and "pushing boundaries" does not explain their fashion choices. There are countless ways to be an anarchist that don't involve showing any body parts at all. And many young women who dress like this are hardly anarchists - employed in very highly paid job roles at giant corporations while carrying around Apple products in their bag.

Although droopy or spotty or old female bottoms clearly don’t qualify as anarchic enough to on show, funnily enough

Who decided that they can't be on shown?

I would have no issue with an older woman's arse being on display. It has no negative effect on me.

Plus sized ones definitely are, though (and those are almost inevitably droopy - ask me how I know). In fact, those are the only ones I've seen essentially fully out on city streets nowhere near a body of water (string thong, tasselled belt that barely touches the crack; to all intents and purposes a bare arse).

I do think it's about trying to be edgy and fashionable rather than titillate every man in the vicinity but I still think it's a pretty horrid fashion no matter what the bum is like. Don't much like it even on the beach but that feels a bit more appropriate. Wandering around a major landlocked city for shopping, coffee, cinema, theatre? That's just not good taste even for the world's most beautiful behind.
