[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Culturally it used to be a problem in the United States for women to show their ankles. It just wasn't done, and if you showed your ankles you meant something by it.

Obviously that'd be ridiculous now. I'm wearing ankle pants at work and so my bare ankles are showing and it's perfectly appropriate.

I'm noticing more and more crop tops and off-the-shoulder tops in kids' clothing sections at stores these days (think Gap and Target). It's quite possible that we are moving to a point where these things will be considered 100% as normal to show as my ankles right now.

I mean there have been cultures globally throughout history where full or nearly full nudity was normal.

It's all culturally defined.

OP just decide what your family will allow and go with it.[/quote]

I mean, off the shoulder was also all the rage in the 80s. Flashdance is from 1983. We all wanted to look like Jennifer Beals on the poster even if we were too young to see the movie.[/quote]

PP here. I guess you can tell I'm too young for that  :lol: .[/quote]
