Yoga pants Poll...The Devil's Pantaloons or Heaven sent????

[CindyE]

I've been meaning to post about this subject and this just leaves me no excuse. A few weeks ago while visiting the inlaws, my SIL who is a feminist and I had a discussion about this. The school where her 16 year old daughter attends is considering banning yoga pants. Of course the SIL is totally against the idea and thinks it's sexist. She said that girls shouldn't be punished just because some boys are distracted by it.

Now I'm all for yoga pants for adults. But I told her that if I had a daughter I wouldn't allow them. Of course the SIL thiught I was being sexist. I didn't push the issue because her daughters were there and I it was just inappropriate timing to escalate the conversation.

I'd liked to have proposed that if it's okay for teenage girls to wear yoga pants, and that teen aged boys shouldn't be distracted by that, how about some fair play. Let's let boys go shirtless and wear spandex biking shorts. Let's see if teenage girls are distracted by that.

so what do you y'all think? I'd love to get a mom's opinion on that.

OK- strictly as a Mom- I have some yoga pants...what USED to be called yoga pants, not these things that look like tights. Even so, I wear a longer shirt over them, and only around the house. My daughter is grown now, but if she were not, the only way I'd let her wear the new yoga pants in public would be with a long shirt that covered her butt and crotch.

...I believe Kut is being possessed by Harleyrider....

If that ever came to pass, some people wouldn't know whether to %&*^ or go blind!

I do admit, at that point, he would be the first person to ever get put on my ignore list.

I can relate... my High School days were in the 70's. We were not teased by yoga pants... we had to endure these:

Depends on who's wearing them.

If you weigh over 300 pounds, or you're a man, you probably shouldn't wear yoga pants. If you're both, there is no probably about it.

You realize, of course, that you just force me to acquire yoga pants and wear them in your presence.

I'm not sure based on the photos that we all have the same definition of yoga pants. Some seem to show what I consider tights. Yoga pants are form fitting, but they're not tights and they have those little flares at the ankle.

Nice attempted thread derail, but how did you get to yard work?

The trim of the bush has nice clean lines, too.

Surely this is safe enough to share.

Thought I saw something about them being intended to be worn under something like a long short, or shorts.

K-22 Masterpiece > bacon

The bacon is gone in a few seconds or minutes whereas the K-22 Masterpiece stays with you your whole life.

Yes indeed...

I go long time with little cleaning......No load too hot 'cause I built on K frame....Clean me or not.....I shoot dirty for you....If chamber too tight brush me up with Hoppes #9...I love you long time...."

It's important to have a dedicated trainer.

Should be the end of the thread right there!

For clarification purposes:

Yes!

We know what you wanted to bump!

I would tell you I was trying to find another thread and this one came up in the search results and noticed it was almost a year old so I bumped it, but you wouldn't believe me.

For the record, kids are gone for the night and my wife and I are headed to a concert. Neither of us has to get up in the morning either. :wink: :wink:

Sorry guys, not a one of those are actually yoga pants. Some are leggings, and some are athletic pants.

I'm not sure why yoga pants are more attractive than running shorts or biking shorts. And they show leg.


And teens should wear tops long enough to cover their rear ends in public, mom's opinion.


And I'll add synthetic fibers make everything swampy. You're welcome.

No, did I just stumble into something over my head?

She's a lady entitled to her opinion. And for the record, I agree on the shirts covering the backside.
