[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What in the hell is going on in the world?

As a kid in the 80's ALL we were were leggings...thin leggings and loose tops.  They were much more skin tight than jeggings.  I guess I looked like a whore in my bright pink leggings and gray oversized shirt with massive bows in rainbow colors sewed to it.  Who knew!

Seriously, this is absolutely ridiculous![/quote]

Eh, I think there is one (may be there are two) posters who are anti-jegging and convinced that little girls can be hos.  Perhaps it's the same person who equates bikinis with underwear.[/quote]

I am anti-leggings as pants and it has absolutely nothing to do with being hos or hussies. It actually only seems to be a couple pro-leggings posters who keep bringing up hussies and hos so they seem to be the ones who think of their daughters that way depending on what they wear. Different dress is appropriate for different contexts and places. What you wear to work is not the same as what you lounge in at home. What you wear to bed is not the same as what you wear skiing.  What you wear to the beach is not the same as what you wear to a dinner with friends. There are socially acceptable ways of dressing depending on the context and situation - that at least for me, but not for some of you has nothing to do with sex or being a hussy or ho. I don't talk to or about my kids that way. Not appropriate for school or in public just means that those aren't clothes you wear in that setting. Just like you might tell your daughter she can't wear her pyjamas to her graduation - are you telling her that because you think pajamas make her look like a hussy or a ho or can you understand the concept that it isn't right for the context. For us wearing tights with or without feet (leggings) are not appropriate as pants unless you are lounging at home. [/quote]

No, no, no.  Anti-jegging AND convinced that jeggings make little girls look like (insert perjorative term for woman who likes sex here).  I get where the jeggings are leggings posters are coming from (I don't agree, but that's fine).  The discussion keeps veering off into totally ridiculous terrain, though.[/quote]
