It is your problem. Private companies may have dress codes, but there are none that apply to people out and about. Don't like something? Don't look.

We did a hike yesterday, 90% were in leggings and sport bras, I'm sure a bunch went out and ran errands and went into restaurants afterwards. Me? Wanted a tan, so one of those short/short tennis skirts.

What cracked me up was two tourists, wearing actual bras as tops. The black one was fine, the white, one-ply, see through nylon drenched in sweat? You could literally see every nipple detail. /lol

17 year old son managed to control himself, and just laughed.

Women dress to attract mens attention should not complain when they don't like the attention they get or who it comes from.

You sound like a child. Learn respect, it's not hard.
LOL. I am old enough to know that appropriate/inappropriate, and things like "respect" are subjective. I am also mature enough not to try and force my views and beliefs on others and control their behavior.

I find it hilarious that you find leggings "disrespectful".

Apparently not, reference the beginning of this thread. Other people complain as well.

So society has no laws on farting either. So I'm standing in front of you, and fart on you - it's your problem right?

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.
So you can control your sexual arousal and feelings of discomfort. Whats the problem then?

This isnt about laws. There are no laws against leggings or comfort level.
Since it is just you that find leggings inconsiderate it is your problem. Most people dont find others clothing style to be "inconsiderate" of others.

Now that is inconsiderate.

OK. Who are the women complaining about attention?

I have been accosted by many a fart cloud, and you don't see me starting threads. And yes, it is my problem. I mean what would one do? Stand up and complain loudly to the room at large that passing gas is unacceptable in my presence?

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.
Cancer causing second hand smoke is not a great analogy to wearing leggings. You dont breath leggings, leggings dont make your hair and clothes stink, they dont choke you and they dont cause medical problems. You dont even have to look at them.

Smoking in public places was banned for health reasons.

What exactly do you believe this dress code is "we" have.
The only one I am aware of is exposing your genitalia in public.
