A motherwas shocked to discover just how short theshortsintended forlittle girlswere while shopping for her two-year-old daughter.
The mother of two first held up a pair of $15 silver booty shorts.
What the f*** is this?
What two-year-old is wearing disco booty shorts?
Her butt cheeks will actually be hanging out of these, Elli complained.
She then filmed some denim shorts on the rack before focusing her attention on a color-blocked pair.
Elli then showed a pair of denim shorts she picked up from the boys section.
Im having to buy boys shorts just to make them decent for a child.
Thank you for saying something.
I hope Kmart sees this and makes a change, one woman commented.
I went to get my little girl some summer clothes and was disgusted!
wrote a third user.
I gasped when I saw the shorts irl.
Totally unacceptable, a separate commenter added.
Othermothersshared that they also shop for shorts designed for boys.
We buy from the boys section for our 4-year-old too.
Girls shorts are ridiculous in length!!
However, some accused the mom of sexualizing the clothing.
They dont fit as short as they look.
The fact that youre sexualizing them is a bit sad.
Girl shorts always end at the crotch, and the boys ones are mid-thigh.
Why do we make them this short for girls?
she asked in avideothat received over 80,000 likes.
A key takeaway for me is that women and girls are sexualized from the moment they enter the world.
Its not just Kmart and these shorts.
Its the crop tops, and its the cheeky cut swimwear, she toldnews.com.au.
Its a problem that runs far deeper than short shorts.
Its the fact that young girls clothes are always decorated with the hunted animals: unicorns, rabbits.
Then the boys clothes are the hunter dinosaurs, lions, etc.
Bored Pandahas contacted Kmart for comment.
Absolutely insane.
I have the same frustration, another mom shared
Thanks!
