Olympic divers now wear that suit, so I'm fine with it.

I'm sure you have more important things to think about.

Who cares if they wore those suits? Are they nice human beings that contribute to society in a productive way? I'm assuming they are great girls.

Stop slut shaming other women.

Agree.

My SIL made my niece change clothes before she was allowed to go Black Friday shopping yesterday. She asked me if I thought she was right. I told her I wouldn't have worn that outfit, but I'm not sure that answered the question.

If my daughter was fat, I would not allow it because I don’t want people to make fun of her. If my daughter was a skank, I wouldn’t allow it, because I don’t want people to take her on. If my daughter was a normal, athletic, and basically innocent person then I would.

I’ve hit menopause, and it is cruel how a small change in body chemistry wrecks the female figure. I am happy for girls who are in shape, and as long as they are not looking desperate or insecure or otherwise vulnerable tjen I say fine. Guys flaunt all the time, and we don’t shame them for it

I feel like this is different though. This has most of the A$$ exposed. They might as well be wearing a sign on their back saying "admire my butt, please!"

We must be thinking of different styles. The swimsuits these girls wore covered a bit more than the crack. Also still their entire buts were exposed.

No, we would not allow it.

No I wouldn't.

Yes... jeez!

Get your mind out of the gutter!

Honestly, another thread made me think about it.

Why are you bringing this up now, Madge? Are you hosting them for Thanksgiving and they are all having fun in the other room while you scrounge up some judgment?

While visiting my husband's brother's family this summer, we went to the beach and their 16 year old daughter and her friends wore those bikini's that aren't quite thongs, but about 3/4 of their butt cheeks were hanging out. I'm shocked that DH brother and wife allow her to wear a swimsuit like that, but I kept my mouth shut. My daughters are a bit younger, but is this the kind of swimsuit that most high school girls wear now?
