What’s with everything being cheeky these days

Joking. I'm French and find American contrasts fascinating: US culture is hyper-sexualized, yet, middle class uptight moms don't want to see skin except at certain types of "resort beaches". Girls should be affirmed and not told they're fat, yet middle class uptight moms deplore their crop tops...

Maybe you should just enjoy your life. You only have one.

Most of the women I know have huge issues about their bodies and their daughters’ bodies. I’m almost 49, living in a UMC enclave, and I’m just being honest. The sexual and “display” hypocrisies are absolutely astounding and most of the highly educated, politically astute (not really but they have polite and educated politics and mourn for the Uyghurs from afar kind of thing) will instantly critique the appearance of a woman they don’t like for any reason. And their daughters.

OP is the unfortunate norm.

Indeed. We should all spend some time learning Dutch or Norwegian attitudes to body/sexuality. They are healthiest.

If I had an incredible ass I would show it off, one can dress like that for a very short period of time, let them enjoy it!

Since when has society accepted women baring their buttocks in public, yet the trend for men remains square cut board shorts and boxer briefs. Men are wearing shorts whereas women are wearing what pales in comparison more along the lines of skimpy panties.

Don’t get me wrong, I dread the thought of my husband or son wearing a thong at the pool or beach. I’m no prude, I have a few racy cut swim suits that I wear in the islands with hubby but wouldn’t wear in Ocean City.

What’s behind this new fashion trend?

Where have you been? This is not new.

No one wants to see men’s hairy a$$es.

I see a lot of women wearing shorts that show half their butt... which doesn't bother me unless they are sitting down on a public chair. Gross AF.

Please, men don’t even wear speedos, much less a 2 inch triangle which exposes cheeks. Why do you think women’s swimsuit trends expose so much more of the body compared to male board shorts?

Yes. I feel so sorry for women athletes who have to play with their uniforms up their butt. It looks so uncomfortable.

This. On the West coast where I lived until 2020, it’s been happening much longer than here though. It’s really only been the last year or so that it’s been increasingly and boringly common around DC area — especially among teen girls, in what I’ve noticed anyway.

Maybe we’re not criticizing the women and their daughters but questioning why the only bathing suits for sale for women require Brazilian waxing and constant wedgie picking, as well as a lot of exposed cheek. My daughters aren’t comfortable with that much cheek showing. And the men are wearing board shorts. It’s an interesting contrast.

-not OP

This is different criticism than OP. You seem to be me saying my daughters and I want more fashionable swim wear with greater coverage. That is not at all the OP.

It must be so sad to go through life judging others that way, OP.

Aren't you happy you're alive, relatively healthy, with the means to enjoy time with your loved ones?

What does it matter that others don't dress like you or think like you? Wouldn't that be a very boring way to live?

Judgy people are so weird.

I have two employees who flew to Miami and paid $6000 to get BBL's. I think they want to show them off.

+1

Men’s suits overseas are about as brief as women’s suits. Men’s suits here look like an Amish man happened upon a pool. It’s the fact that women are dressed half naked and men nicely covered that is the weird thing.

OP isn’t wrong about the underwear thing. I hate “cheeky” undies as they’re always creeping up. If I wanted the fabric sensation of something creeping between my cheeks, I’d buy a thong. If I’m buying a brief or a bikini, I want coverage. Such an annoying trend.

I don’t mind seeing butts.

What really gets me is too much blush. It’s too much blush, guys! It’s too much.

[Anonymous]

I think it’s funny/pathetic that so many women have bought into the lie that if you don’t go prancing around half naked you must have body image issues. And so many women really don’t seem to understand the concept of an appropriate time and place for everything. (For example, a sexy swimsuit you wear to the beach with your husband is not necessary appropriate for the neighborhood pool…)

A woman with enormous boobs can show vast cleavage and nobody blinks twice because her boobs are just bigger, and she still hiding a lot but showing a lot.

Same goes for butt cheeks these days. Everyone's are bigger and some are gonna peek out.

Everyone could find shorts that cover their butt completely, if they do desire!
