'Completely out of line': Internet calls out woman who rebuked brother's gymnast GF for 'suggestive' pose
When an ex-gymnast performed a standing split in a bikini while chilling out by the pool with her boyfriend's family and his friends, she did not think it would ruffle any feathers. However, to her shock, her boyfriend's sister claimed it was "suggestive." The 24-year-old woman took to Reddit to share her story with the title, "AITA for a pose I did in front of boyfriend’s family/friends."
The woman claimed in her post that one of his cousins asked whether she could still perform all the stretches and moves. "I played along," she wrote on Reddit. "Put down my drink and did a standing split, lifting my leg and holding it behind my head." She added, "It was a seemingly normal cute moment, whatever. People clapped, we laughed, moved on."

'All in good fun'
The 24-year-old woman was informed by her boyfriend's sister that she believed it was improper. In front of a diverse crowd, she claimed it was "suggestive" to strike the pose in a bikini." "I told her I didn’t agree," the woman wrote. "It was a very basic gymnast and even yoga pose, just all in good fun. Now I’m getting the cold shoulder."
'Talent is hot!'
Several Reddit users attacked her boyfriend's sister for saying that the pose was inappropriate. A user wrote, "NTA. Anyone who sexualizes what you did, the problem lies with them." Another user said calling the act suggestive is similar to slut-shaming. "To be really honest, there will be folks who find someone doing the splits in a swimsuit super hot. BUT, to say it's 'suggestive'? Which sounds close to slut shaming and potential victim blaming? That's wrong and completely out of line," they wrote.
Another user mentioned, "Even if it is hot - and any show of skill should be hot. Talent is hot! - you're not wrong or inappropriate to display your skills when asked. Sounds like someone is jealous of you." "It’s called jealousy and you are NTA," noted one user. "Believe me I would be jealous too but I wouldn’t shame you for a skill you have obviously worked very hard on. Plus your clothing isn’t far off what most Olympic athletes wear during their routines anyway! Full on jealousy from her. Forget it and move on." "Haters gonna hate, show ya skills girl 👏🏻" remarked another user.
