And the insanity continues...

So you're saying that leggings should violate public decency laws, is that it?

How very Sharia of you.

Like it or not, we live in a society. The reason we have dress codes for people out in public is for the comfort of others. There is obviously some line we are making, and people who violate that are equivalent of people farting in public etc.

Yes, I don't want to see scantily clad women around me when I'm with my wife or daughters in public. It makes me uncomfortable. Just as it makes me uncomfortable when you're drooling, mouth breathing self were to fart in front of me - albeit for different reasons.

Obviously different venues have different dress codes. I don't go to nightclubs with my family, but out in the mall or some public, family wholesome place, show some respect, if not for yourself, for others.

Call it Sharia, call it what you want.

That's quite a shark jump...
Leggings does not = naked.

I know some 50-year-olds with better bodies than some 25-year-olds. Don't be ageist. lol Besides, women over 35 are more likely to be doing yoga every morning.

My mom used to say she loved being older because nobody gave a crap about what she was wearing or looked like anymore which gave her the freedom to do what she wanted. Guys tend to ogle the young ones.

Just like those wearing stuff others don't like? Can't tell them they should like it.

Keep your hands off my opinion. Don't like my opinion? Too bad.

Who has "dress codes"?
Schools, work places, even many nightclubs have dress codes.

It's so frustrating that the concept of modesty always get simplified down to just being about clothes. It's much more than that. It's more about acting decently all around, and what some seem immodest in clothes really isn't.

You can be wearing a sleeveless dress that is perfectly modest, or be immodest despite wearing a long sleeve gown encrusted with jewels.

Now you have just demonstrated complete ignorance of what leggings are, dude, I have FLEECE lined leggings, and many others are quite thick. The come in a wide variety of materials. Of course the leggings I wear to work out are thinner, it's 85 degrees and 70% humidity.

Using a song from the Sugar Hill Gang about Superman's attire is a HUGE stretch (no pun intended).

Obviously your actual experience with this clothing seems to be looking at pics on the internet and song lyrics.

So you don't take you wife and daughters to the beach I'm guessing? Don't watch any women's volley ball on TV (quite skimpy), I would imagine NFL is off limits due the cheerleaders?

How in the world do you manage to leave the house with girls in short-shorts, mini skirts, tube tops, crop tops.... your offense must constant.
