The "debate" about leggings

S E E D E D   C O N T E N T


Does anyone seriously care if women wear leggings while doing everyday things? I have no problem with it.

I work at a university and my wife wears leggings all the time, I fully support them. The scenery is just so much better. 

But seriously, I resent the idea that I, and men in general, cannot control myself. That a woman wearing skin tight...sexy ass pants that really show off her...ass.. and makes me wanna... 

Sorry, what was I saying? Yeah, I resent the idea that I cannot control myself!

Clearly men do control themselves all day long and every day - or there would be many millions of rapes and lesser sexual assaults on a daily basis in America alone. But that doesn't mean we aren't going to at least be distracted some by a fit female in tight leggings. It's not necessary to be a creep, but we notice. Being a gentleman means overcoming your baser urges.

And if that fine distinction bothers women, sorry, but that's just too bad. Welcome to the world of biology. Men are turned on by what they see. This is well documented. We are hard wired to objectify women to some extent. That's not the full scope of how we approach women, but it's certainly a significant and fundamental component of it.

Exactly. That part is up to us. It is up to men to not be fucking assholes basically. 

We are hard wired to objectify women to some extent.

On that point..... I won't say you are wrong. Speaking purely from personal experience, the sex drive is strong. I can't help it when I see a good looking woman walk by and my mind.. wanders. It just happens.

Darn paywall.  But I'm pretty sure I've got the gist.

But yes, I agree that telling us that men can't control themselves around attractive women, whatever those women are wearing, is an insult to men.  This mother is telling us that boys raised like her son should be locked up, because that's what we do with people who can't control themselves.  She's telling us a lot about herself as a parent.

What the hell does she think he'll see at the beach?

All joking aside that position really is an insult to men. It suggests that we are so primitive that we cannot control ourselves and just act on impulse. I read the actual article, and it really jst seemed to me to be an article that gives men every pass and puts all the onus on women.

That’s not an accurate representation of what was said at all.  It was about supporting a strict dress code for uniforms for a k-8 charter elementary school.  It had absolutely nothing to do with all females.

It takes a certain self-assurance to pull off a kilt.

When we visited Scotland, my 70-plus year old cousins and some college girls were part of the group.  The college girls were shocked by my cousins flirting with the guys in kilts and appraising their calves.

For real, The Rock could be president. Seriously, if he ran he could win, especially against Trump. His speaks well, seems somewhat intelligent, and oh yeah, is fucking Superman with a tan. Basically the exact opposite of Trump. Oh yeah, and people like him. Shit, from what I have seen he is a pretty genuinely cool dude, and I have yet to hear anyone say anything really bad about him.

Just about the only thing I have to say against him is that he can't act.

Ok, so I don't really want him to run for POTUS, but given the choice between him and Trump - I'd vote for the Rock.

And that means things have come to a sad state, indeed.

I disagree. Doom, his first movie "I think" was pretty damn shitty, but over the course of his career I feel like he has gotten a lot better. IMO he has made massive improvement in his acting. And he is one of the top A-list actors around these days.

The mom begged female students to stop wearing leggings on account of the distraction they might cause for her boys and others.

Sounds like a form of sharia mentality.

Yet I think taste is important.

Nobody wants to see me in a speedo. That includes me.

I am pretty close to the most irritated guy on the planet these day. The girls have been gone for months and won't be back until November/December and longer. I am generally kind of pissed off. When the girls are here, normal dress for them is a g-string and T shirt or maybe one of my white office shirts.

So relaxing and calming. Nirvana even. What could be better?

Sorry folks, we got to get out of that sharia mentality and stop ingraining it into our kids.
