The fallacy is that women are responsible for men's thoughts and actions.

If a woman wears yoga pants and a man ogles or says something, the woman is not to blame.

If a woman wears leggings and a man catcalls her, the woman is not to blame.

If a woman is wearing a skirt on the metro and a man takes an upskirt photo, the woman is not to blame.

If a woman is wearing a tight top and gets groped by a man on the bus, the woman is not to blame.

If you're not comfortable wearing yoga pants in public, that's fine. I'm not going to judge you for that. And a man who says you should dress sexier is just as wrong as the one who catcalls a woman in leggings.

You are not responsible for those reactions, nor do you need to tolerate them.

I've always said the same. I'm going to break my rule and wear them for a long flight. I figure they'll be a step up from the pajama pants trend.

Pics please.

But it really is about two things: the length of the stare and the creep of the guy. PP who gets checked out in a puffy coat: I used to get that (in what must have been another life and not five years ago... WTH happened?). You really can get checked out wearing any outfit by anyone. The worst is when you're young-ish and it's a 60 something man who's old enough to know better and young enough not to be able to pin it on dementia. Actually, the "worst" is when it's that guy and he's your boss. Yuck.

I wear mine to the gym and home. I don't understand going out in public in them. I wear jeans when I want to be comfortable.

If it is so obvious I can tell you are looking at me you are looking too long. I have very nice legs and a$$ but I don't need you fing me with your eyes. Men are pigs.

I am not religious, but dang!

its women like you that give all of the normal women a bad name. Men aren't pigs, that is a really sad statement. If a man came on here and said - ALL WOMEN WHO WEAR YOGA PANTS ARE WHORES...the fallout would be historic.

Also, just because someone is looking at you doesn't mean they are EFing you with their eyes. Don't flatter yourself dear.

I don't find it flattering at all. Hey, you want to sneak a peak go for it, I am in public.

But there is something about yoga pants, men can't just take a peak and look away... They linger too long.

It obviously does not happen to you since you can't relate to the notion of being "f'd with their eyes" ... but it happens.

I think most men will admit, the long stare is piggish.

In her blog, Veronica Partridge writes that wearing yoga pants or leggings in public makes other men want to look at her, and causes them to think lustful thoughts.

Well, at least her ego is healthy.

I wonder how she addresses the fact that her husband looks at other women wearing yoga pants or leggings? By her own logic he must be thinking lustful thoughts.. about other women.

The bigger issue here is why are all these Percy guys creeping on the Beauty and Fashion board. Lord! Can't we discuss makeup and fashion in peace. Gays are always welcome

It depends on if you are hot.

Nobody's saying you can't wear them. But if you wear clothes that show off your body, don't be surprised if people look. Check out the explicit forum for an entire thread dedicated to yoga pants if you don't believe me. (Well, it derailed pretty quickly, but was originally dedicated entirely to male admiration of yoga pants).

Signed, female (completely straight) who can't help checking out women's asses when I see yoga pants. They're just so.... Out there on display!

Look, burkas exist for a reason. And the reason is that women have bodies, which are hard to disguise in clothing.

If you are so worried about impure thoughts, I would recommend purchasing some Saudi-style garments tout suite.

Where did I say that it bothers me? It doesn't bother me the slightest bit. I just find it amusing when people put on skin-tight clothing and then are shocked that people look, or that it gets men's imaginations going. I fully support women wearing whatever they want - but don't expect men to not notice or fantasize.
