Its really sad that in this day and age, we still blame the girl for wearing the "too short shorts" or the "too tight skirt" or the "too low top". Wow, setting thinking back 50 years in one fell swoop.

No what is really sad is that a woman goes out with her *** hanging out and there are those who actually think "its not her fault" she gets attention for it. She got her picture taken and it was posted online. If she didn't want anyone to see her cheeks why did she leave the house like that and go out in public?
And 50 years ago women wouldn't dress like that in public, they would save that for in private

Obviously you are going to blame the woman no matter what. It amazes me that some man, simply because he is famous can post pictures of whatever he wants and say what he wants and its fine. Kim Kardashian posts pictures of HER OWN body and people are outraged. Says a lot about society, sadly.

Yes, she should wear longer shorts. And yes, those shorts are going to call attention to her. That doesn't mean he shouldn't be expected to keep his thoughts and opinions to himself.

Again, I ask...blame her for what?

You've got it all wrong, by her going out in public like that she actually gives someone the right to not keep their thoughts and opinions to themself. There is no protection of privacy when in a public place, if she doesn't want someone "thinking" something about her, or sharing their thoughts, even in the form of pictures, then she needs to cover herself up. Its as simple as that.

That is a very good question, and one I don't think you'll get an answer too.

Do you have a daughter? Does she or do you think she will ever wear a bikini? And if so, would you be ok with this same grown man taking a similar picture and posting it?

Look, this girl wore the shorts. They are too short. She is not a victim. BUT that doesn't make his actions right. One is not necessarily right and the other wrong. IMO, he should not have posted the picture. If he and his wife wanted to discuss the girls butt, go ahead but thats not the same as posting the picture.

 

[Disneylover99]

And I think it's EXACTLY like "everyone gets a trophy". It feels like you're making the claim we (general public) should not do ANYTHING that MIGHT make someone else feel bad. That's EXACTLY why everyone gets a trophy. Because the organizers don't want the kids who don't win to feel bad.

I haven't made that claim at all. You suggested that's what I meant. It's not.

What he did was stupid, rude and disrespectful, regardless of whether or not the girl actually identifies herself. Sure anyone has the right to take that picture. But just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

 

[minnie56]

Omg seriously..move on!

Yes I have a daughter and thank god she doesn't dress like this girl, but to answer your question she is well aware that when she is in public, what she wears, what she does, what she says is not a private matter. She has grown up in the age of the internet and therefore knows that her public life can be displayed for anyone to see, including potential employers, or even colleges, she could end up a meme online. If she chooses to draw attention to hersef, then she chooses the consequences that come with it. This is the time we live in, and I'm surprised you haven't taught your daughter the same.

Lol. Dd has been taught to act and dress appropriately because its appropriate. She has been taught what is and isn't the right way to act online.

But the time we live in does not make certain actions ok. No more than past times made past actions ok.

I don't know if this guy meant anything derogatory manner, but I don't think that he nor his wife should be taking pictures of women's rear ends or any other body parts unless it is her smiling face.

And that is your opinion, they feel differently.

 

[luvsJack]

And that is your opinion, they feel differently.

So, are you seriously of the opinion that any part of one's body is fair game for pictures to be posted by any stranger? Does that really include everyone?

You know, the internet is a great tool no arguing that. I just wonder if anyone realized in the beginning that everyone would suddenly be of the opinion that everything is fair game just because they can make it that way. Like someone else said here, just because they can, doesn't mean they should. People still have a right to be treated with respect.

 

[Kbee]

A purposely exposed body part in in public? Yes that is fair game. The law agrees.

Oh and your comment about being treated with respect. If that girl wanted respect she wouldn't have her cheeks hanging out for all to view. She got what she wanted, attention. You need to just accept that.

 

[luvsJack]

Whether she wanted attention or not has nothing to do with it. I don't know what the girl wanted and neither do you, and you need to accept that. That she wanted attention is your opinion.

So, respect is back to only being given to a person who dresses a certain way? Shall we also go back to hoop skirts and corsets to be treated with respect? Again, taking us way back in thinking.

 

[Miskey]

It's a beautiful day outside (at least it is here ) Might be time to step away and get some fresh air

 

[Kbee]

Oh please, a woman doesn't dress like that just because its hot outside, she wanted people to notice her butt. You don't need to be a PhD to realize that, but hey you can try to argue all you want

Since respect is earned (to me), how you dress will determine my opinion about the level of respect for your privacy you should be entitled too while in public. If you don't respect your privacy enough to keep your body parts,that in society are normally covered up unless at a beach, well then why in the heck would you expect or deserve that respect from someone else. It starts with you.

 

[Wishing on a star]

OMG, I hadn't even looked at this, much less posted...
But now I am even LESS of a M B fan.

Really, to post a picture of one's self with a half naked butt...
How flipping immature and negative and stupid can one be.

As a very very famous person, with like millions of followers, does he not feel ANY responsibility at all for the kind of crap he posts out there?
Ohhh, wait, this is M B... So, of course not!

This says a LOT more about him than any silly young woman in some shorts.
Seriously.

He is showing who he is here.
He is showing his own rear-private-parts way, WAY, more than she is.
And, his is coming off as very, very, ugly.

Take another look at the expression on his face in that photo.
Wow... that says it all.

Look around for a few extra minutes almost anywhere out in the summer.
BINGO.... you'll see this, or something similar.
Right or Wrong, just the way it is.
There are WAY more actual examples of body-shaming and females slashing at females.
This ain't it.
This is all about him.

This is NOT about her.
I do not see this as something for women to get their backs all up and put those claws out.

 

[Wishing on a star]

Now I am noticing what he is posting, trying to pack-peddle here.

"Women are to be celebrated, loved, respected honored and revered. I've spent my life believing that and will continue to do so"

Ummmm, NOT what that expression on his face is sayin'!!!!!

Like this girls butt-cheeks.
His ugliness has been exposed.
Once it is out there, it is out there.

Methinks, maybe just now, WAY TOO LATE, that there might not be as many woman buying his music and tickets to see a man with that attitude crooning to them.

Again, it doesn't matter why she wore the shorts.

A certain kind of respect is earned. But, I believe, there is also respect for our fellow human being and that is what is lost here. How she is dressed shouldn't matter. You show some decency and respect to others, just as you would want them to show to you.

You are making a judgement of this girl because of what she is wearing. You aren't coming out and saying it, but its obviously there.

It makes me think of a story in our church. A young girl and boy come to church. He is dressed in torn blue jeans and a t-shirt. She was wearing cut off shorts, a t-shirt with a beer ad on the front. After church, one of the church ladies goes to the preacher and says "Isn't it just disrespectful of those young people?" The preacher tells the lady he doesn't know what she is talking about "they are very nice young people and very respectful". The lady goes on to say "well respectful people would wear their very best to church" The preacher turns to the lady and asks, "how do you know that wasn't their best?"
