Parks dress code?

[RedAngie]

I enjoy seeing “abnormal” clothing at WDW and elsewhere. It gives me moments of eye rolling and inner snickers.

I think we, as a society, spend entirely too much time and effort worrying about things that don’t matter. If you are offended by what I am wearing, that’s your problem, not mine. I would say the person upset about it is way too sensitive.

Worry about your own self, that’s what I say.

Absolutely a great motto! You do you boo.

Where are my fellow native Floridians who grew up wearing the least amount of clothing for survival? Because short shorts and bikini tops or shirts just as small are not just worn at the beach don't make me blink en eye

The definition of “Floridian” has definitely (d)evolved.

Not a Floridian, but I grew up in the 60s & 70s. We wore skimpy tube tops, thin cotton halters, short shorts (hot pants) & something called sizzler sets (basically a tunic with matching tiny panties) in unimaginable patterns & colors. No one who grew up when I did should be judging anyone’s clothes.

I don't care what you wear, just don't cut in line in front of me,

I get what you are saying and I agree. Skimpy clothing does not equal provocative clothing.

Now, how does this translate to people who dress their children provocatively? A little romper or sundress is one thing, but what about crop tops or low rise pants on grade schoolers?

I am conflicted on this. 1, I think it's weird to sexualize little kids. But 2, I know there are plenty of creeps and awful people who do, so I don't understand why dressing little kids like adults going to the club is a thing, andit makes me glad I have boys. I never worry about finding them shorts that cover all the things or shirts that are long enough.

Mostly I agree. But I have a serious question. Why is this thought ok when it comes to how a person dresses but not things they say or believe? Like if you get offended by my clothes thats a you problem, not a me problem. But I have to be careful about what I say, because it could be offensive to others? If you are offended by what people wear, you are too sensitive, but it's ok to expect others to not say words that offend you. And I'm not even talking about specific words that we all know are offensive and shouldn't be said. Just random pre coffee thoughts today lol

The clothes that others wear have no affect on anyone but themselves. The same cannot be said about someone's words and beliefs.

*Beliefs* themselves do not hurt others - words/actions based on those beliefs can (i.e. fine for someone to believe that people should dress more modestly, not fine for someone to force others (in a public place) to do so).

My words/beliefs don't affect you either, unless you let it. Same as someones clothes. I am just referring to saying or believing a thing, not trying to force others to to think or feel what I feel. If we are going to say that what someone else chooses to wear should not offend you then words should not offend you either. As long as they aren't trying to force you to think or feel the same way that they do, then why does it matter?

I'm just throwing stuff out there for arguments sake since that seems to be what we are doing on this thread. I am not saying that I think you should be able to say what ever you want with out consideration for others. Just that if you can wear whatever you want with out worrying about what anyone else thinks, why doesn't the same apply to words? As a society we are supposed to be considerate of what may trigger others regarding speech, but it doesn't seem to apply to clothing.

First, words can and do hurt.

For clarification, it's not the beliefs that hurt others, its trying to impose those beliefs on others than is harmful. As a pp said do you boo but don't expect that others have to step in line, kwim?

I think that's a very interesting take. But words CAN be insulting. "You're an idiot." is definitely an insult, and there are obviously worse ones out there. So, you can insult me with words, but can clothes I wear insult you (leaving phrasing on a shirt out)?

Let's go to extremes. Let's say there's a group of people who think all skin aside from hands and head should be covered at all times, so that's the clothes they wear. If I go into a business that states "all skin except for hands or head must be covered" in shorts and a t-shirt, that's not following their "rules" and could be considered insulting, yes?

However, if those people go to Disney World (or almost anywhere else in public) and see people in shorts and t-shirts, that's not insulting their beliefs, is it?

I do see a difference there between words and clothing, but don't know if I've expressed it well.

I realise that it may have read like I was disagreeing with you. I don’t - I was forestalling posters saying that we were suggesting controling the thoughts of others.

It's all good, you were clearer than I was.

I believe some of us are discussing different situations. Firstly...not about religion for me. Also ...no problem showing skin either. My issue is people revealing areas that are considered to be private by most and see-through clothing in family friendly venues. Is it really that difficult to show a bit of respect or restraint? Don't really want my kiddos seeing your intimate bits. Sorry but I'm trying to be delicate. I believe there are limits to what most folks will tolerate. Yes I have been subjected to views of personal body parts...more than once at WDW. It's hard not to look when it's in your face...standing in a line for an hour.

OK, I'll bite... what are you seeing through the see through clothing? Undergarments or skin?

If you are seeing body parts that are normally covered by MOST swimsuits (including bikinis), that's a problem. If it's a body part you wouldn't be surprised to see at a water park/pool/beach (not referring to clothing optional locations), I think it's "OK" in the park.

I believe there is a baker in Colorado that would have to disagree that you are allowed to set the rules in your own business based on deeply held religious values.
