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 actually haven’t seen one woman wearing these; only girls. Children. In the 13-16 age bracket.

Stupid comment ⬆️

i can say with much confidence that people don’t defacate or urinate from their ass cheeks either.

That would be more of a leakage scenario or bad wiping technique

If nobody cared we'd all walk the streets naked. It's what it is to be human to care what we and others wear. It always has been and is likely to be for the foreseeable future.

I think OF has infiltrated social media to the extent where this is normal now. Some of the most high profile OF girls have massive female followings.

I dont see why we have to support every stupid thing women may choose to wear, or double standard they choose to promote.

I'm not a massive fan of arse cheeks on display but I did see the most gorgeous young woman in sporty shorts (not micro shorts) the other day. That figure was proof of God's existence I can tell you.

You are the first ever person to come up with that 😂. Good work 👏🏻

It was at the cycle track though, wasn't it, the café?

How can any of us ‘not look’? I don’t want to see a girl’s underarse any more then I want to see a male’s arse crack but if they are hanging out I don’t have a choice! How do you suggest we move around the streets with our eyes closed?

I have unfortunately. I was with my 9 year old daughter behind a woman in the checkout queue at The Range who looked in her 30s wearing them.

I actually don't think that, generally, they are trying to look sexually provocative. I think they are trying to look fashionable. Being revealing has an edge to it but I think it's more about the style, such as it is, than provocation.

I never had my arse out in the street or on the beach but I did sometimes wear stuff like a Wonderbra under a lace top or a top done up with only lacing at the sides. I realised boys might like it and it would help if I was on the pull but it was more about trying to look sophisticated and cool. And failing, but still, that was the intention.

No, I just made it up for effect because I wanted to make the comparison with the mums in lycra point.

I've never been to a cycle track. Couldn't bear all the MAMILS comparing times and wearing those goat shoes they do.

Don't take life so seriously.

You don’t have to like or support what people wear, but there’s a difference between opinion and calling young women ‘disgusting’ or using sexualised insults, as some people have on this thread. That’s the point being made.

Wonderbra under a lace top! Paired with a tartan, pleated mini-skirt or hipsters that showed the top of your thong…oh my god, you’ve properly taken me back. I really did think I looked sophisticated too 😂

It’s ‘fashion’. It’ll pass.

In the 60's there was outcry at the shortness of the mini skirts so many young women were wearing. Same in the 20's from older women still in Victorian fashions and so on.

Plus ca change plus c'est la meme chose!

I was at the Harry Styles concert at Wembley few nights ago. Approx 95% female audience. About half the young women and girls were wearing extremely revealing outfits, including loads and loads of sequin hot pants, tiny denim shorts with arse cheeks on display and bikini tops (it was hot!).

I don’t think any of it was for ‘the male gaze’. Just youngsters having fun with fashion.

I believe I see a lot of support for each other in these posts. Especially when it comes to children / young women.
For some reason (also) some people have a problem with advising their daughters on what clothes are respectable and which are not. And I personally think showing your bum cheeks, bum crack (even more when bending over. Crosses the line. By a long shot

It’s definitely for attention, you don’t walk around with your arse hanging out if you don’t want attention

goat shoes 😆😆

Come off it! There was nothing even remotely similar in the 70s to what people are talking about here. Nor did people swan around in thongs. If your skirt was short enough to show your pants, you were very careful how you walked/sat etc. I was prime trying-to-be-shocking age in the 70s, so I remember it well.

Boundaries? That's surely gymnasts wearing bodysuits not ultra high cut leotards or women wearing trousers and flats. Not having both cheeks on show whilst walking up the escalator

Pushing boundaries for the male gaze is a bit tragic in the big 2 6.

I’m 49 and perimenopausal. I have a saggy arse. So no of course I wouldn’t wear them.

But if I was 18 and perky? Hell yeah. And no one would stop me.

I wore some terrible shit in my youth but now, this too would be my prevailing concern.

Of course they want attention! So what? They’re young and having fun!

I feel like MN is full of people who were born 44 years of age, wearing sensible knickers and going to bed at 9pm.

Have a day off!
