You are a miserable person, LW.

Dear Prudence,

There is a well-endowed young lady in the neighborhood who dresses like a stripper when she goes jogging. There are plenty of children in the neighborhood, including mine, who can see details of her body they haven’t learned about in health class yet.

I don’t know the lady’s name, but I finally waved her down when she was running by and told her there were kids watching and could she please cover up? She called me a Karen and cursed me out! Sorry if expecting people to dress decently in public makes me a Karen.

I’ve had it. I tried doing things the nice way but I have half a mind to take video of her and shame her on the neighborhood Facebook page. Maybe if she’s publicly shamed, she’ll dress more appropriately or take her peep show elsewhere. However, I know there are people who might see this as internet bullying. Is there a better way to get her to cover up?

    Is she wearing tassels and a thong while jogging? 

    FFS LW you ARE a Karen and if you have kids, you're teaching them that the female body is one of shame.    If you don't like how she dresses then don't go shopping where she buys here clothes.

    She was wearing bike shorts and a crop wasn’t she? How dare she wear exactly what pro runners race in every single competition.

    There’s a woman we see regularly who jogs in a bikini and short shorts. It doesn’t matter what the weather is…50 degrees, 93 degrees, she’s out there running our trail. SIL and I couldn’t care less beyond commenting “get it girl” and also wondering sometimes if she’s cold. Oh, we have wondered if running in a triangle string bikini hurts because we are high support sports bra girlies. But we don’t give a shit because if that’s what she wants to wear, go for it. We did raise our eyebrows once at a very well endowed woman wearing a thin white see through crop top once without a bra. But we still didn’t care. Once again we were just shocked to imagine running without any support. Could not fathom it. I can’t even do my home elliptical without throwing on a bra. This woman needs to stfu.

    Fuck you, LW. Running is hot, even when it's cold outside. If I could run naked, I would, but chafing and bouncing would kill me.

    I'm glad she told you off and I hope Prudie did too.

    I swear I didn't read the response before I posted:



    Dear Can’t Abide,

    Because you describe yourself as the kind of person who would post a photo of someone on Facebook to try to publicly shame them into wearing what you want them to wear while they’re IN PUBLIC, it’s difficult for me to believe that this woman is really wearing what a stripper would wear on stage while she’s going for a run. Which would be, in my estimation, a thong and maybe pasties? i My guess is that you are being hyperbolic and really, she’s just wearing workout clothes with less material than what you would personally wear or deem appropriate for children. But unless you keep your children away from pools, beaches, and most forms of media, that ship has sailed long ago, and in any case, it is not your concern how dressed or undressed someone chooses to be in public (unless, of course, laws are being broken). The inclination you have to not only judge someone else’s clothing, but also recruit an army of strangers online to join you in that judgment, is the bully in you. Don’t worry about finding a better way to get her to cover up. Spend some time asking yourself why her dress bothers you so much, and should your children bring it up, what you plan to say to them. Whatever that is, I hope it isn’t used to pass on the bullying tendency you initially felt.
