Women wearing yoga pants=female equivalent of men wearing

Post Reply New Topic

It's not your fault meems - mds_02 usually takes heat from feminazis on a fairly regular basis so he's a bit sensitive over it.

And mds_02 - meems def isn't one of them! *hugs*

All fair enough. Except for two things.

I just put an eye patch on and I have to be socially irresponsible tomorrow, but if you'd like to continue this conversation when I grow the hell up, we could do that.

P.S. I didn't think you were being anti-female at all, and I thought a series of confrontational questions in response to a one line joke was weird and aggressive.


P.P.S. I AM SORRY I offended you. I really have to bow out of this thread, I've been offending people left and right lately and it's becoming a source of isolation to have no idea how to have a conversation anymore so I need to stop until my brain becomes more functional or something. I don't even know.

You almost made me wet myself with that first line.

i can see many sides of the yoga pants choice.

some women wear them because they are comfy or going to a workout etc.

some women wear them because they are sexy.

but also...

some women don't wear them because they are sexy. i can easily see how they sexy, but maybe too sexy for my butt so i don't wear them. i leave that for other women - who either don't care (or who like the attention).

i have no idea how many women don't care and how many choose to wear it for the attention, and really it doesn't matter either way. for the women that care, they look great and feel great and have some great attention on their backside. good for them!

(back in Canada, it was extremely common for women to wear those pants *everywhere*, even to some workplaces, school, errands. but here in the UK i have yet to see many women wearing them. it seems a bit cultural).

Every so often I wear yoga pants. Sometimes i wear them because i actually, you know, DO yoga (unlike a lot of people who wear them), other times i work out in them because they are comfortable and have good stretch to them. It's not to impress anyone necessarily. And although I am fine with what my bf thinks about how he perceives me wearing them (he is more butt>>boobs when it comes to his preferences), other males can keep their thoughts to themselves, especially if they have no class. Some guys are so entitllist when it comes to these things too. So dumbass who honks at me while jogging, catcalls and hollers "white girl got a phat ass" out the passenger window, and guys who have wasted their time oogling and staring at my butt at the gym and store before my bf walks over, DREAM ON. I am not put here for your amusement. I am not a piece of meat. I am not a prize for your gym motivation. Stfu. I am a woman, not an object to be objectified. Some girls think they are okay with being objectified because they never knew how to respect themselves with dignity from day one from how they were brought up. It doesn't make it right or okay for the rest of us though.

And I feel that way about other types of clothing that flatters my body. Regardless of what someone thinks, I wasn't put here to be objectified and will accept none of that sentiment of "oh durrr, well, women invite it on themselves". I think it is a lousy excuse for unchecked entitlist egotistical male behavior.

My mid-50's mother wears yoga pants because she has IBS and her belly sometimes swells to twice its normal size when she has an attack, and yoga pants stretch to accommodate without cutting in to her waist and causing her even more pain.

It's also really good for people with body image issues.

I think it should be mandatory for all sexy women to wear these yoga pants at all times of the day and in all situations
