Jinger Duggar: Still Wearing Shorts, Living By Her Own Rules
If you’re a longtime fan of the Duggar family, you may be familiar with the Free Jinger movement.
Named for a non-profit website that hoped to rescue Jim Bob and Michelle’s daughter from a lifetime of servitude under a patriarchal belief system, the movement eventually expanded its goals, seeking to call attention to the abuses that often take place in the name of religious fundamentalism.
While that remains an important objective, Jinger has shown a surprising streak of independence and may be the Duggar least in need of saving.
Yes, her forms of rebellion might seem quite tame by the usual societal standards, but in her way, Jinger is striking out on her own and thumbing her nose at some of her parents’ more asinine beliefs.
The most obvious way in which the 23-year-old has departed from the strictures of her upbringing has to do with fashion.
That may sound silly, but when Jinger began wearing pants, it was widely interpreted as a bold, public rejection of her parents’ rule that women must dress in floor-length skirts at all times.
Shortly after stirring controversy with that wardrobe choice, Jinger wore a pair of shorts in a photo that earned her applause from Duggar supporters and detractors alike.
One of the more absurd aspects of the Duggar dress code is that women and girls are forced to wear long skirts even when playing sports or engaged in other physical activity.
As you can see, Jinger recently demonstrated that she’s bucked that trend completely.
And yet again, she’s being praised by those who have advocated for the rights of women in fundamentalist communities:
“Finally, a Duggar girl is wearing what she wants and NOT what her family thinks she should wear,” commented one fan on the above photo, adding:
“I always thought that Jinger was the most sensible of all the older girls!”
We’re sure Jinger appreciates the adulation, but it seems these days she’s intent on showing fans that she’s striking out on her own in ways that go beyond her choice of attire.
Jinger and husband Jeremy Vuolo have made a point of supporting their local arts community in Laredo, Texas.
Over the weekend Jinger posted the above photo, with a caption reading:
“A lovely evening enjoying the arts to support a dear friend.”
Fans applauded Jinger not only for taking in interest in cultural pursuits, but also for the quality of the photo.
“Lovely photo,” wrore one fan. “You really ought to pursue photography professionally!”
The Duggars don’t explicitly forbid their children from engaging in artistic activities, but Jim Bob and Michelle frequently encourage their children to spend their time on more “practical” pursuits.
(Many would argue that devising an elaborate dress code so that no one will see your daughters’ ankles isn’t the most practical use of one’s time, but that’s a conversation for another article.)
Jinger often expressed interests in music and photography as a child, and now it seems Vuolo is encouraging her to hone her crafts.
Jim Bob and Jeremy have butted heads several times over the years, and we’re guessing Jinger’s emboldened behavior isn’t exactly endearing the Texas pastor to his domineering father-in-law.

Ariel Winter: I"m Not a Whore for Wearing Short Shorts!
Ariel Winter … so great, right?
She just seems like she’s so happy with herself, like she’s proud of who she is and the choices she makes, and it’s really inspiring to see.
And hey, are we seriously going to complain about an extremely attractive lady who enjoys wearing minimal clothing?
But, as it turns out, plenty of people do complain about Ariel’s fashion choices.
Particularly, they claim about her passion for short shorts — can you imagine?
Take, for instance, the most recent photo on her Instagram account.
In the photo, she’s surrounded by a large group of friends, and she looks like she’s having a great time.
She’s also wearing her beloved daisy dukes and a fancy crop top.
While the comments on the photo did contain several compliments, most people weren’t so kind with their words — in fact, many people got super nasty.
“LMAO and you are the only one running around looking like about to do a porn,” one person wrote.
“Looks like you gave a lap dance to the whole squad,” another suggested.
“So funny,” yet another hater commented. “Everyone else dressed normal. She is dressed like a hooker.”
A great number of Ariel’s followers had similar comments — that she looks like a “hooker,” a “skank,” a “slut” and so on.
Several of them stated that she looked like a stripper or an escort that the group had hired for the evening, and lots of people theorized that she’s out in her underwear.
Some suggested that she has no self-worth, and others begged her to cover up more.
It’s all really, really bizarre.
Because the thing is, and it’s hard to understand why so many people struggle with this fact, Ariel is a grown woman who is allowed to dress however she wants.
Her style may not be your cup of tea, and that’s fine.
You can even communicate something like “Wow, I’d never wear that!”, that’s acceptable.
But to go as far as to call her a slut because she’s wearing shorts and a crop top?
Come on, people. We’re better than that.
And in a rant Ariel posted on Twitter, it seems like she agrees.
“Pretty annoyed about the focus on the fact that I wear shorts,” she began, “and the commentary that I’m ‘squeezing’ into them or the idea that it’s not okay for me to wear shorts.”
“It’s SUMMER. Get over it. It’s hot, I’m obviously going to wear minimal clothes.”
She’s right — it is very, very hot in many parts of the U.S. right now, and if someone feels more comfortable in short shorts, then good for them.
“I’m not going to suffer in a turtleneck to please anyone,” Ariel continued.
“I’m not a whore because I wear shorts and tank tops. I’m a normal girl.”
“Also, I’m not ‘squeezing’ into anything,” she added. “My shorts fit me and everything I’m doing is just fine.”
“Please leave young women alone. We’re just living our lives. It’s really troubling that we even have to deal with this kind of stuff nowadays.”
Isn’t it though?
She concluded by asking people to “Please stop criticizing everything everyone does!”
It would be a wonderful world if that would happen — at least to the people who don’t deserve so much criticism — but we have a feeling Ariel’s got quite a few more rants waiting to be written in her future.
But in the meantime, girl, you do you.

Jinger Duggar Wears Shorts, Internet Loses its Mind
Newlywed Jinger Duggar recently stepped out wearing an outfit so risque, card-carrying members of Duggar Nation promptly lost their minds.
Seriously. You are not going to believe that a member of the Duggar family, married or not, went out in public exposing this much skin …
Yes, that’s Jinger Duggar wearing shorts. Shorts!
Normally, a cute 23-year-old girl wearing shorts is hardly news, but in this case it’s literally unprecedented, so that’s the Duggars for you.
Skirts and dresses, and long ones at that.
Throughout her entire life, Jinger and the rest of the Duggar family have lived by that modest dress code and total intolerance of pants.
Jinger, who moved out of the Duggar compound in Arkansas and now lives in Texas after marrying Jeremy Vuolo last fall, looks to be over it.
Parading around town in knee-length shorts and a pair of Keds, Jinger’s seemingly inconsequential picture has roiled Duggar fans nationwide.
We are 100 percent serious that no Duggar female has ever worn shorts in public, nor have they donned any tempting, form-hugging pants.
Jinger’s sisters, Jill and Jessa, have each been photographed wearing snow pants while sledding, but that is nothing like this event.
Their mother, Michelle Duggar, has been outspoken in the past about why she and her daughters dress modestly in skirts and dresses.
“My daughters are the second generation of modest dressing in this family,” she has said. “They’ve grown up being dressed modestly.”
Praising this “feminine apparel,” she says “I’ve told my daughters this has been a joyful journey for me to learn what my Lord has called me to.”
“I feel like the Lord is impressing upon me that I should be modest in what I wear [and] defining who I am as a woman by choosing to wear dresses and skirts.”
Saying she is inspired by the Bible, Michelle adds that “our interpretation was that from the neck down to the knee should be covered.”
“By keeping those private areas covered, there’s not any ‘defrauding’ going on,” the matriarch says, going on to explain:
“My kids have all been taught that the definition of defrauding as stirring up desires that cannot be righteously fulfilled.”
“We don’t believe in defrauding others by the way we dress.”
Michelle is serious about enforcing her family’s dress code, as evidenced by holding them to it even in situations you would not expect.
One of those being Joy-Anna Duggar’s workout attire … in which she wears a skirt over loose-fitting workout pants while lifting weights:
Talk about going to great lengths.
Jill refused to wear a standard firefighter’s uniform while working as a volunteer firefighter EMT, modifying the pants into a skirt as well.
The Duggar family also believes that women’s shoulders should not be shown off in public settings because “they may arouse men.”
Raw, uncut shoulders.
Even Duggar family swimming attire is remarkably un-revealing, as evidenced by this classic photo of Jessa and Ben Seewald in 2015.
Any hopes of seeing Jessa Duggar cleavage or even soft-core shoulder action was quickly dashed when she posted this poolside pic:
However, Jinger broke that rule during her honeymoon, wearing a loose-fitting, shoulder-revealing top during one of her video posts.
Perhaps she’s bucking this family tradition altogether.
Believe it or not, she was even seen wearing her hair in a ponytail and not the typical, Jim-Bob Duggar-approved long-flowing curls.
Of course, even by Duggar standards, she’s not technically “defrauding” anyone with the shorts, which still go down to Jinger’s knees.
There is no “stirring up desires [in men] that cannot be righteously fulfilled” here, either from the shorts or the fact that she’s married.
If Jeremy Vuolo finds himself in a perpetual state of arousal after seeing this, well, he and his wife are now free to act upon those desires.
The days of side hugs are long gone, people …
Naturally, the Duggar fan community went nuts over the shorts pic, with one fan writing “Wow, amazing!! Maybe Jinger finally is ‘free’!”
That quote comes to us from a member of Free Jinger, a forum actually named after Jinger Duggar and fans’ desire for her to be … free.
A Pickles and Hairspray Facebook fan adds:
“Looky! Jinger in shorts and she isn’t even swimming! It’s always nice to see a Duggar kid give the finger to their parents’ crazy restrictive rules!”
“Feel like this a major victory! Wearing SHORTS!!!” another fan commented, celebrating the end of a lifetime of sharing “modern modest” pics.
Victory or not, all of this begs the question:
Is Jinger doing this now because always she’s always been a rebel who has wanted to wear shorts and was forbidden to by her parents?
Is it because her husband Jeremy has told her that he wants her to wear shorts, and she’s obliging his more modern fashion preferences?
So many mysteries in these strange times.

Mom Gets Fat-Shamed for Wearing Shorts, EPIC Response Goes Viral
No matter how many posts we write about body-shaming and how much it sucks, some folks just don’t seem to get it.
Texas mom Brynn Huffman was feeling pretty good about herself when she went out to run some errands the other day wearing a flowy white top and mid-thigh denim shorts.
Huffman admitted it took a bit of courage to don the shorts.
“My legs, while tan from swimming and muscular from dancing, are (1) not where I would like them to be and (2) are not up traditional beauty standards (read: Photoshopped) because cellulite,” she wrote in a Facebook post that has gone viral.
Sounds like the thoughts of a great number of American woman, amiright?
Unfortunately for Huffman and humanity as a whole, some jerk in line at the UPS store thought it appropriate to confirm the mom’s worst fears by making a snarky comment about her attire.
Huffman says that after a pleasant exchange with the woman in front of her, she turned to the patron behind her and smiled.
In exchange for the grin, the woman started with a compliment, as if trying to negate the unspeakable rudeness that would follow.
“‘Your hair really is amazing.’ ::cocks head to side:: ‘You should probably rethink the shorts though,"” Huffman wrote of the woman’s response.
And the most incredible part? The shamer wore a shirt that read “COEXIST.”
Huffman said her face immediately turned red – not with embarrassment, but with rage. She then hurled back a zinger that couldn’t have been more perfect.
“You should probably rethink your shirt.”
Ooh, ya burnt!
Yet even after the epic comeback, Huffman said the insult still made her want to go home and change her clothes, and that made her even more angry.
The encounter inspired her to write the post, which has garnered more than 400,000 likes and 163,000 shares.
She concluded with a message we hope all will consider before launching unsolicited criticism to strangers.
“Listen, people. Especially women.
“Plus sized doesn’t necessarily mean unhealthy. Plus sized doesn’t necessarily mean lazy. Plus sized doesn’t mean ugly or undesirable or untalented or uncoordinated or LESS. THAN. HUMAN.
“You might have an issue with my body. I don’t. And I’ve worked very hard past judgmental family and friends, past divorce, past depression to NOT have an issue with my body.
“Women. Do not tear each other down. Celebrate each other. Every day.”
SLAY, sister.

JetBlue Passenger Not Allowed On Plane Because Her "Shorts Were Too Short"
I guess it’s better than being kicked off for drunken antics?
A Seattle-based burlesque dancer was told by gate agents at Boston’s Logan Airport that the length of her shorts were unacceptable, and she would therefore not be allowed to board her connecting JetBlue flight.
The passenger, who goes by Maggie McMuffin, recapped the ordeal to her local CBS station, KIRO-TV.
“The flight crew had discussed it and the pilot had decided that I needed to put something else on or I would not be allowed to board the flight,” she explained.
McMuffin – who donned a sweatshirt, thigh-high socks and shorts – said she wasn’t questioned about her outfit on a flight out of New York before connecting in Boston.
A gate agent approached McMuffin and told her that “she was really sorry for bringing this up but just what I was wearing was not appropriate and the flight crew had discussed it and the pilot had decided that I needed to put something else on or I would not be allowed to board the flight.
“I was told it was the pilot’s final say so these are not official rules that can be broken,” she said, adding that she had to run to another terminal to buy a $ 22 pair of shorts.
JetBlue issued a statement after the incident:
“The gate and on board crew discussed the customer’s clothing and determined that the burlesque shorts may offend other families on the flight. While the customer was not denied boarding, the crew members politely asked if she could change.
“The customer agreed and continued on the flight without interruption. We support our crew members’ discretion to make these difficult decisions, and we decided to reimburse the customer for the cost of the new shorts and offered a credit for future flight as a good will gesture.”
The airline gave McMuffin a $ 200 credit and refund for the shorts.
Who knows? Maybe JetBlue was trying to avoid an in-flight incident involving McMuffin and an irate puritan.

Joy-Anna Duggar: Posing With a Gun? In Shorts???
It’s rather tasteless, but that seems to be the recurring theme with this family.
18-year-old Joy-Anna Duggar is believed to be posing with a gun alongside armed guards on a beach in El Salvador.
Before Christmas, the Duggars joined Jill and Derick Dillard for family’s annual mission trip with S.O.S. Ministries. The Inquisitr noticed the photo in question and did a bit of digging.
“No one seems to now where the photo of Joy-Anna Duggar came from, and it’s so bizarre that many commenters are speculating that it was digitally altered,” the site stated.
However, readers pointed out that Joy-Anna was wearing the same outfit in another photo taken of the family.
This outfit startled fans, who know for a fact that Michelle Duggar likes to keep things conservative.
“Duggar fans are always surprised whenever they see female members of the family wearing shorts because Michelle Duggar has made it abundantly clear that she believes women should wear skirts and dresses most of the time,” the site revealed.
“In a TLC blog post, Michelle revealed that this is because she believes that wearing skirts and dresses helps her define who she is as a woman. The no-pants fashion rule is so important to the Duggar family matriarch that she even sought out special modest swimsuits for her daughters that include high collars, sleeves, and knee-length skirts.
“However, perhaps the Duggar girls are allowed to bend their mother’s skirts-only rule when they get older.”
Sounds great
