Just searching leggings, this is a website I found that sells them - https://shop.lululemon.com/p/women-p...B&gclsrc=aw.ds

No man can sit here and tell me they won't be sexually aroused if they saw a woman with that body walking in those leggings. And that's the point, you're making people uncomfortable by being inconsiderate. Not everyone wants to be sexually aroused in family friendly places.

People who also make other people uncomfortable

1- People who swear in public, are loud in public, or vulgar
2- People who fart in public, especially closed places
3- People who solicit or beg in public

The list goes on and on.

Telling people it's their problem, look the other way, is the statement of a jackass. Be considerate to people around you. You're not the only one in this society.

It is like having people who smoke sitting nearby and then refusing to put their cigarettes out. Because everything is all about them and they have no consideration for other people.

If you can’t control your emotions or behavior amongst society, you shouldn’t be out in society. That’s on you. Period.

Yeah, because getting smoke in your face is exactly the same as a person wearing leggings. Exactly.

I think this was already brought up but do you go to the beach or pool? Do you ever watch women's volleyball or see cheerleaders.
Yes its your problem, not the problem of hundreds of thousands of random women. In many countries people go about in public among scantly clad and even naked men and women without being uncomfortably sexually aroused.

You know what sexually arouses me? A nice forearm. Sometimes just the eyes. The way a pair of jeans fit just right. That is my problem and my responsibility to control my arousal. I look away and picture the bottom of a beer gut showing under a wife beater shirt and thick chest hair poking out the top and I envision the dreaded but crack visible atop the drooping waist band.

Your right the list of people we encounter in public that make us uncomfortable goes on and on.

The elderly
little kids
handicapped people
overly religious people
preachers
salesmen
cops
dogs
groups of teenagers
black men

and on and on.

Deal with it. Learn to become comfortable or avoid public places where something or someone might make you feel uncomfortable.

Yes, I already addressed this silly dumb question with a very simple: different venues call for different codes.

Bikini on the beach? Fine. Bikini at work? Not fine.
Leggings in the gym? Fine. Leggings at work? Not fine.

Yes its your problem
No, it's not just my problem. We in society pass laws, and you need to follow them. Just like we decided to pass no smoking ordinances because we decided that other people's problems are everyone's problems.

Be considerate. Not hard.

I hope you ask whatever diploma mill "educated" you for a refund, because they did a great disservice by you, taking your money, when you clearly don't even know how to read or process what you read.

There are no laws regarding leggings, therefore I will wear them where and when I please.

I repped, because this is a great analogy.

The people who are saying "your problem" are like smokers telling people, don't like me smoking, your problem.

I'm old enough to remember when smokers were everywhere - bars, restaurants, you name it.

We have dress codes, and people who violate them make others uncomfortable. And the nerve of them to say "your problem." With such people, I'm happy to make their lives uncomfortable as well.

There are no laws about farting when I stand in front of you, so I will therefore fart on you as I please

You sound like a child. Learn respect, it's not hard.
