Your like these old dudes on my job. They are called leggings..
We had this old woman come to our worksite. The guy looks back at her, she turns around ( view his eyes position ), and then proceeds to cover the area where he was looking. THIS IS FROM WHEN WOMEN WALKED AROUND IN DRESSES. However she was wearing leggings.
Again they are called leggings and they are making a comeback.
For some people leggings never went away. It depends on their lifestyle.
Kind of like how sometimes cowgirl boots are "in style" and sometimes they aren't.
So when cowgirl boots are "in style" some people will say that they are making a come back but the reality is they never went away. Some people always wore them wheather they were in style or not because of their lifestyle.
It's the same with leggings.
Some of us ladies are well aware that men might have eyeballs to see and brains to think, we simply don't live our lives around that. We DON'T CARE.
It's not our responsibility.
There is a difference between these four things: Feelings. Thoughts. Words. Actions. You can feel or think whatever you want in the privacy of your brain. But if you don't believe you need to own your words or actions, then I can't help you. It doesn't matter what I wear. Pushing this argument is simply saying that men ought to be able to act like whatever and have it be someone else's fault. Heck that! And frankly I give men in general more credit.
There are people who are unpleasant enough I might have a thought of hitting them over the head with a brick, but I can't be like, "You know, you're really making me think about harming you right now. Has it occurred to you, to take some responsibility for my thoughts, and behave differently? Having to exercise self control is getting SO uncomfortable for me. In fact you should have really been thinking about my feelings before you even left home this morning." Consent violators aren't regular Joes who just got turned on by tight pants beyond their ability to control. Who stood there confused like, "Well I've got an erection and I really feel I should do something with it...hurr durr..." Ya'll are smarter than that. And if you are the kind of guy who would actually violate a woman, it won't matter what she is wearing beyond whether it's difficult to get it out of your way.
If this were really a valid line of logic, that women should obsess about what men might think in choosing our attire (if we're pretty, at least...and that's ridiculous too, given how subjective taste and attraction are) then women would never be permitted to wear bathing suits. Or are you asking we warn you first? Like it's different if you're going to the beach or pool, where you expect to see lady bodies, but when it's a surprise in public it's like AH! She caught me off guard and my wang got the better of me! lol? It's silly.
If you have discomfort with your own thoughts, that's your problem. Where do your rights end and mine begin? Understanding that you're not entitled to speak and act on every thought you have, let alone blame it on other people even if they inspired it...that's just a matter of being a civil human being.
Ya know what else is funny to me? "...your wildest imagination..." You have no idea how many women walking around you in the world are more perverted than you are. I'd bet my favorite yoga pants that I've DONE things beyond some men's wildest imagination. So yeah, that's cute. We have heads full of all kinds of thoughts, some of us do...we just know better than to throw 'em around all over the place or blame them on strangers.
So yeah. It's not that we have no idea. We just don't always feel like we should care. And the news? They just want us to be afraid of each other, isolated and divided. It's not really all that worse than it's ever been. Monstrous people have always existed, but they always were and still are, a minority.
I just find this mindset really annoying. Not only in terms of female autonomy, but because I find it insulting to the very many totally decent men I know, who may think whatever...but sure know how to behave.
For some people leggings never went away. It depends on their lifestyle.

"Some people" need to have that kind of body ( as in the video) to pull this look off.
If I was one of those females at the health food store and he said to me "your leggings are very revealing. I can see every curve of your body all the way up to your waist. I want you to know that I noticed that. Did you feel apprehensive the first time you wore those out in public?" I would call him a creep.
So if I would say it to his face why can't I say it here?
And yes it is crazy to say that someone's work out attire is more revealing then a swimsuit.
So why can't I say that too?
Just curious.
You can stop right there.
Did he ever say it to any of these women at the store?
No, he did not.
So why are you trying to shut him down here, where he is free to share his thoughts/observations?
Who are you to tell people what they should/should not observe/see/comment on?
You can wear whatever you like, you just can't dictate to others how they should perceive you, and what they should think of you and your outfit.
Why don't you go to your local gymnastics school and show it to them.
Then tell which girls age 4-22 have "the right body" to be wearing them.
Oh, the majority of girls in gymnastics are usually poorly built, so they wouldn't pull off the kind of look Katey Sagal is sporting in that show.
Quote:
They'll call you creepy too.
No they won't, because I don't go to gymnastics schools to check on their spandex leggings ( which are appropriate there for obvious reasons.)
But if they'll start parading in them on the streets, very few will look great in them, while the rest - sort of blah.
Not that I'm going to comment on it, but it's still "blah.")))
