I think basing your defense on a photo of a model's ass shows that it's the exception that proves the rule.
I've subjected almost 30 women to my gaze over the years, so I think I'm speaking from expertise when I say that in my personal opinion, high waisted jeans look bad on 99.5% of women.
When they're combined with ironic glasses and some stupid bird feathers, you have a truly eye-rolling combination.
Wear what you want, don't cater to me/men or whatever, but that's my opinion.
They're not mom jeans by definition if they're bright aqua like the ones in the photo. And there's "not low rise" and then there's high waisted. If they're genuinely, obviously not just jeans that cover your belly and definitely are intended to be high waisted that's fine. Just be careful what you buy.
Let's not forget that a whole lotta 'low-waisted' jeans look pretty damn awful too.
Given a choice, I'd rather see this any day of the week as opposed to overweight folks with their ass-crack showing in 'low-waisted' jeans.
Hey can we start slamming men in front pleated pants? Nobody should be wearing them. They only look good on model bodies. Why do they still sell them?!
They are especially funny on top-heavy women (ahem.) They give you the apple-on-two-sticks effect like nothing else can.

just ask yourself when you are trying them on, "Do I look good in these? y/n"
Just. Stop.
