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 ?

Tbf I see lots of females wearing these shorts with less than perfect proportions & skin.

They dont have 'confidence' they have a lack of self awareness and no boundaries

Your private parts are private. People comparing your bum to an arm or leg are jokers and ridiculous

Yes, that's on a beach. As I said in my earlier post, this is in busy city streets and I don't kind G strings on beaches. I do try not to be judgemental on clothes and I never cared about those scrunch bum leggings (they're hideous but so what) but something about fully naked arse cheeks out in a normal city street, around shops and cafes where you don't expect beachwear, feels different... and really does look horrid, whatever the physique. It just doesn't belong there and it just isn't an attractive style.

All this being said - Kylie minogue did look good in her gold hot pants !
however most of the bottoms I have seen have been a little bigger than kylies !

My bum cheeks hang out of BIG shorts 😞

No one is claiming you can blink your way out of reality. It’s about not turning ‘I saw/see it’ into ‘therefore reality should be adjusted around my preferences’.

Your private parts are private.

Yes, and obviously the disagreement here is what constitutes a private part.

Bums and cleavage are obviously a grey area.

@PintofFizzbecause I don’t agree with @DancingLions? Younger women are more body positive & confident today imo which I think is a good thing. I had way too much angst about barely noticeable cellulite in the 90s

Exactly this, some of the descriptions on various threads of some bumbling husband because he's wearing something off, or some bloke that was spied wearing this or that and its all 'hes repulsive/disgusting/grim' with lots of vomit emojis etc etc

But little Sarah whose 18 and off to Uni and slim and pretty 'oh, women shouldnt be questioned and judged on what she's wearing' and big Sarah who is overweight and spilling out of her outfit has 'body confidence'

Neither of them are grim apparently.

😂

Young women have been wearing shorty shorts and mini skirts for decades, it doesn't bother me (I used to wear them too).

BUT I do know the kind op is talking about, and they are hideous. They aren't just a bit short, they display areas of underwear that really aren't for public viewing.

I was raised that there is a time and a place for everything, and walking up and down the street in public is not the place. Reminds me of what my grandpa used to say "if you don't have nothing to sell, don't advertise." To me young women showing all their ass, crotches, camel toes, nipples, etc is advertising. Certainly women can wear what they want but do all choices indicate good common sense? I always made choices for attire on being sexy but sophisticated -- something I would be okay with my higher ups seeing me in. I refuse to walk around looking like I shop at Hookers dot Com or their Catalog.

You're quite right.

WHO'S WITH ME??

Hard agree. My daughters 14 and is simply not allowed to wear these shorts knickers outside of the house. I don’t even care if that sounds like I’m from the Victorian age. I am 37 years old. I saw one of her peers in Aldi and yes my eyes nearly popped out of my head. I mean I have eyes. I can’t not see! 👀.

It's disgusting, have they no shame?

Or just honest. Not everyone has a model figure. Far from it. But I dont want anyones butt cheek in my face as im reaching for my groceries whether fat or thin. And in this heat with tight shorts....probably a bit smelly!

I was a teenager in the 70s and it wasn't as extreme as it is now. Incredible as it may sound to modern ears, most 10-14 year olds then weren't that into fashion. Sure, some were - and as they became older teenagers, some adopted amusing haircuts and crotch-strangling 'parallels', as widelegs were called then. But they were a minority, considered to be easily led due to poor parenting, and therefore more to be pitied than censured.

What strikes me about modern kids is that despite decades of feminism, girl power, Me Too, and all that every schoolkid now knows about patriarchy and the manosphere, grooming, sexting, coercion, consent, harassment, sexualisation... a lot of girls are dressing the way they do.

Guess you can't beat biology. Just that it's better not shoved in your face.

This - I grew up in hot pants in the Eighties. I think it looks fine. Wouldn’t wear them myself now as I have a very Eighties/Nineties self-flagellating opinion of my own cellulite on my thunder thighs but I think girls of all shapes and sizes look great in them when they have the confidence to pull them off!

Im in!!

Personally I find judgemental women commenting on what other women and girls wear far more distasteful.

Google Martin Goodman's use of the term females.

And if you follow the thread you'll see that the café mentioned was at the local cycle track. So there

Oh so only Kylie esk bums are to be on show, teeny tiny mumsnet bum bums. Fatties get back in your sacks
