I would like to ask her if this is just her judgement or have her sons said something to her about woman in leggings?

Seriously…..how many males butt cracks have you seen, beer guts poking out under their t-shirts, etc?

Leggings are something I opt for as they’re so comfortable and help keep my loose skin from flapping about. I like the comfortable material.

Personally don’t like leggings as fashion & never have. I don’t see how they became fashionable tbh. In saying that I don’t feel like wearing them sends the wrong message at all. There is a lot of other garments that come to mind that could be worst.
Also I have no idea how old this
Mother is but wasnt the mid drift top fashionable in the 80’s & is making a come back these days?
To me that’s even more revealing!

I personally do not wear Leggings or even Jeggings just find them not comfortable at all

I don’t love leggings as fashion, I feel they need to be worn under something than just be the main part of the fashion but… nobody gets to tell women how they should dress to please males EVER.

This woman is off her nut, totally and utterly ridiculous.

Ffs really???? OTT MUCH

I hope her son’s aren’t allowed to go out wearing low cut muscle shirts to show off their arms and abs. Women might get the wrong idea…

Would you rather women walked around in micro minis and showed off their underwear (what there is of it). Wouldn’t people stare more then. Nothing wrong with leggings if you ask me.

Hahah! Leggings (as long as they aren’t see-through) are way more modest than most the short (short, short) shorts being worn by many teen girls and adult women. Im talking the ones that show butt cheeks hanging out the bottom of them. Why has this mum not taken aim at those teeny tiny shorts? Or super-low cut tops that can leave bras or boobs hanging out if they swing open? (I have seen a lady’s boob once by accident when her low cut top swung around wrong and she wasn’t wearing a bra!) or even at the cropped tops that are all the fashion at the moment?
Lol, I don’t enjoy seeing other womens butt cheeks falling out under their short shorts, but I don’t mind leggings that much.
Also, who does this mum expect to enforce her “no leggings rule”?

What? Surely the point is to teach children to respect everyone – women, men, gay people, short people, overweight people, atheists, vegans…? Just treat everyone with respect. End of.

Well, when men start putting on shirts when they are hot and wearing a bikini top on to cover their disgusting hairy sexual nipples when they swim and STOP wearing lycra on bikes, then, and only then will I have a ‘leggings are not pants’ discussion.

Leggings are super comfortable, that’s why women where them. It would be nice if people didn’t make such judgements.

Wearing leggings without a long top should be something that most women wouldn’t want to do. As a woman I always check what I look like in the long mirror before wearing it outside – don’t most modest women do that? Or is the idea of being modest abhorrent to women these days? And I am not talking being modest to a male’s gaze, but what about other women’s gazes? The other women are usually the most bitchy about how women look and I doubt too many of them think that tight leggings look fantastic on any one – similar to men wearing lycra on pushbikes.

Oh dear the poor woman she has issues. Why is a woman’s choice of clothing means men have no choice but to objectify. She isn’t just insulting women she is pigeon holing all men

Omg the people on this post agreeing with this woman are just as ridiculous as her.
Leggings are clothes! Whether they be the sporty kind of leggings or just normal black leggings. I wear leggings, you know why? Because it’s my choice and they’re comfortable af! I’ve had 2 kids so my body definitely isn’t what it used to be, pelvic pain makes it hard for me to wear jeans for more than a couple of hours so I wear leggings and a long t shirt.

If you think leggings ‘objectify’ women then you’re the problem.

Like all clothes, There are some places/ events where leggings aren’t appropriate – but I don’t think “males will see your figure” is something that should be a factor.

I agree that leggings in public are not always a good idea – I mean, they really do show off your figure. However, why not teach your boys to be respectful in a modern world – can’t really see everyone going back to wear dresses from neck to ankles. Yes, feel free to appreciate a woman’s body but understand that is her body, it is not there for the gratification of men and she can wear whatever she pleases. It does not give men permission to say or do anything!!

Leggings are not pants and are not flattering to wear out even if u do look like a stick figure. Have some dignity and save the for the gym and exercise

Just ridiculous! What about bathers then? Or really tight jeans and shorts and dresses? There’s more then just leggings that show a woman’s body. Men need to learn self control over tgeir lusting

  I agree, I’ve seen women in very short shorts that show more than most leggings. It is up to the person to decide what they want to wear.

    My son is almost 40, I am a single mum, I brought him up to respect women and he never had any problems repecting women when he was a teenager(& there were lots of boob tubes & extremely short skits been worn around then) & still as an adult, he knows how to respect women, it’s not the clothes that is the problem, it’s how people view them from what they have heard/been taught growing up from parents & peers, that seems to be the problem
