I cannot deal with how judgmental people can be. I mean, if it's against Disney's dress policy then fair enough BUT people are perfectly entitled to wear whatever the hell they want without someone looking down their nose at them. If people want to wear black with black, then let them. If people wanna wear booty shorts, they can do. It has no impact on your life whatsoever. I notice this thread is predominantly judging how women dress, too. If you don't like it, don't look. Stop wasting your time and energy dragging other people down for their choice in clothing. It's not our fault that people can't look at our bodies without sexualising them.

While I agree that what a woman wears in no way is permission to take advantage of them sexually, to claim that people should simply ignore clothing (or lack thereof) that draws attention to traditionally sexualized parts of a person's body is a bit ridiculous. Women or men wearing revealing or "accentuating" clothing are going to be looked at by other people to whom the body parts on display are attractive. It's just human nature. Now, the person who may look has the responsibility to not stare or behave inappropriately, but to demand that someone should not mentally sexualize parts of the body that, at least in our society, are culturally associated with sexual attraction is unreasonable.

Honestly, men can be just as bad when it comes to showing more than is appropriate. I don't want to see a dude's butt crack and think that guys who walk around with their shirt off when they aren't at the beach are classless. Are you entitled to wear what you want? Of course. People are also entitled to look askance at you if you're touring around a family park with too much of your body hanging out. There's a big difference between wearing clothes in which you're comfortable and wearing a see-through top with "Mickey pasties." Unless you're feeding your kid or are at a location where clothing is optional, nobody needs or wants to see your entire body. As for it not having an impact on my life, that's not true. Everything that someone does has an impact, large or small, on the people around them. Personal freedom does not override personal responsibility. I applaud people who are comfortable in their own bodies and aren't ashamed of them. Our bodies are beautiful and our uniqueness is wonderful. With that said, the feelings of those with whom you share a space are important, too. Behaviors and social norms that are for the benefit of the whole should be followed. What you wear and do in your private life and amongst like-minded individuals is your own business and I would strongly defend against any attempt to stifle that. Going to Walt Disney World isn't a situation where personal preferences should take precedence over the feelings of the larger group.

Dammit I was going to vehemently disagree but then you used the word 'askance' so I realised I would get destroyed.

Lol. Nah. I'm not into destruction. I appreciate different points of view and have benefited many times in my life from keeping an open mind and ears.

But the only reason why these areas are "traditionally sexualised" is because society has taught people to do that, that doesn't make it right. The purpose for women to have the assets they have are to feed babies. Saying "oh, well that's just how society sees THOSE parts" isn't doing anything to stop the oversexualisation of a persons body, particularly items on a women.

But this post, and the poster and pretty much everyone else on this tread are so quick to criticise and undermine what women are wearing, but haven't once done it about men.

Who are we though to determine what items of clothing people find comfortable? Some people may prefer jeans over leggings, or jumpers over crop tops. And let me tell you, wearing a bra in heat is the most uncomfortable experience. It's not nice, at all. Oversexualising someones body is not a social norm that should be followed, it's entirely inappropriate. I agree, that people should perhaps consider that they are going to be in view of young children and should perhaps consider what they are wearing, but it's not normal to sexualise a body part because someone has it on display even the slightest bit. And it's not the fault of the person wearing the clothing, either.

I’m an anti-prude...

I find the adult princess dresses and lame matching Tees much more noticeable/distracting...

But I don’t understand the hoochie stuff either...it just honestly doesn’t stand out to me as much.

Well, I've been to Mardi Gras in New Orleans. So I think I've seen plenty of men* wearing overly suggestive and/or revealing clothes.

*more than enough, actually
