Government is coming for your yoga pants
The Washington Times ^ | February 13, 2015 | Fingers Malloy

Yoga pants are under attack. Lately, they have been a hot topic on Facebook, blogs and other corners of the web. Some say they are too tight. Others complain that we, as a society, have lost all sense of modesty. The question has been posed: Should women wear yoga pants in public?

For one state legislator in Montana, the struggle against yoga pants is real.

No. Seriously.

From the Billings Gazette:

Looks like “spandex” to me and that’s been around since the early 80’s at least.

favorite pants of large women for some reason back then.

Why worry about public morals this far in the game when we embrace homosexualism, mass execution of innocent babies, same-sex “marriage” and we teach our kids about the blessings of these social depravities at an early age?

In a society in which the bikini is deemed decent, the notion that yoga pants (a.k.a. footless leggings) are indecent is laughable, and we on the right should make Montana State Rep. Moore a laughingstock.

Of course, absent a tunic-length top that comes at least to or better below the crotch and doesn’t leave bare shoulders or arms, please don’t wear them to an Orthodox Church. We do have a bit tighter standard of modesty than society at large. (And expect to be issued a modesty skirt if you turn up at a really traditional Russian parish.)

Compared to hot pants, yoga pants are modest.

Exactly, we can put this on our radar after the real problems are attended to, like a treasonous president, and the world on a slow burn WWIII because of his negligence.

I heard that-I’m quite happy to be all legs, small hips and butt-guys may like a big booty like that one-but I think it is a primitive fertility thing. A slimmer woman has a neater, trimmer look in skinny jeans and leggings than fat bottomed girls...

There are some women who really ought not to wear leggings and yoga pants in public-the ones who are seriously overweight-but it is no one’s business what someone wears in public unless they are wearing nothing at all...

Hey, guys.

Remember that most women wearing yoga pants in public are't models.

Hee-hee. Bad kitty!! Very bad kitty.

“....because of his negligence.”

You still belong to that group that does not believe it is all done intentionally?

This stupid prude would have to shield his eyes from the beauty I met at the range yesterday.

She was beautiful and yeah, those pants did it for me...

The Government should keep its nose out of the people business.What are they going to do legislate the fashions that woman are wearing today?

just imagine all of the woman in Hollywood with the purposely revealing clothing they wear.

The Kardashian’s would be out of business for good.
