[I say "everyone" because I refuse to be accused of discriminating based on age or gender, but let's be honest... I'm talking primarily about teenage girls here. They're the only offenders I've seen so far. Please correct me if I'm wrong.]
If your butt cheeks are hanging out the bottom of your "shorts", you're not wearing shorts. You're wearing underwear. And I do believe wearing underwear for bottoms is considered socially unacceptable in *most* public places. Nudist colonies, exhibitionist conventions, beaches, and pools excluded, of course.
Now, before ANYONE accuses me of anti-feminism, let me make one thing explicitly clear- I am a feminist. In the true definition of the term. I truly believe in equality between women and men.
I truly believe the idea that "boys and young men can't be expected to control themselves when girls and women wear revealing clothing" is absolute bullshit. HOWEVER...
The line when it comes to dress-code must be drawn somewhere, and I believe that line to be the curvature of one's posterior. Man or woman.
There are those who get a little too much enjoyment in these types of "displays" and would tell me "Don't look if you don't like it!" And to that I say...
When I'm crouching down to the lower shelf of baby food at the grocery store and I turn around to put my items in the bottom of my cart and I come face to face with the exposed bottom portions of someone's derrière, it pretty much can't be helped.
I'm trying to help, really. I'm trying to prevent your nomination for "September" in next year's "People of Walmart" calendar.
I mean, most places of business have some sort of signage or posted policy claiming something along the lines of "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Service"... Do we really need to add total-butt-cheek-covering-bottoms to that list?
So people- hear me out... Please let the decision regarding who views your butt remain between you and whomever you choose on an individual [and I do hope private] basis. And leave the rest of us blissfully unaware of what lies beneath your underwear.
Regards,
The somewhat modest and now slightly embarrassed woman in aisle five.
