Hundreds in R.I. turn out for parade to defend wearing yoga pants (AP Photos)

Hundreds of women, girls and other supporters proudly donned their yoga pants Sunday afternoon as they peacefully paraded around the Rhode Island neighborhood of a man who derided the attire as tacky and ridiculous.

Alan Sorrentino says the response to the letter to the editor, printed in The Barrington Times Wednesday, has been “vicious” and that he’s received death threats. He implored marchers to stay away from his home and maintained the letter was meant to be humorous.

But organizers say the so-called yoga pants parade wasn’t a protest against Sorrentino specifically but part of a bigger movement against misogyny and men dictating how women should dress.

I don’t wear real yoga pants but a close proxy. Below the knee all summer with a long top and cute sandals. In the winter I have ankle length ones that I wear with a long sweater and uggs. Has been my wardrobe for years. Sooooo comfy!

Hundreds in R.I. have way too much time on their hands.

These pants can be very tight and clingy in certain spots, which the girls may not want to accentuate like this.

Oh, I think that's exactly what they want. There are a quite a few exhibitionist women, too chicken to be strippers, who love to show off their crotch while playing innocent. But don't men dare to look at them the wrong way or say the wrong thing or you are in big trouble.

‘Hey, where are your yoga pants?

‘Paw tuck it.’

We’ve had yoga pants being worn for decades. But they used to be called “panty hose” and women wore dresses over them.

Normal people would write to the newspaper like he did, instead of showing up at his house to harass him.

God knows women are judgmental as hell when their date dresses like a slob.

It’s just typical of how leftists or women, virtually synonymous these days, believe someone expressing an opinion is an attack on free speech. And intimidating that person to stop them from exercising their free speech is NOT an attack on free speech, it’s social justice.

I'm writing a letter to the editor shaming scantily clad hot women and telling them to dress properly.

I'm including directions to my house.

The problem is not the style, it is the short T shirt
