A leftist woman who is passionate about denying American citizens their second amendment rights was outraged when she saw United Airlines refuse to let two young girls board a flight wearing skin tight "leggings" or yoga pants until they put on something to cover up. Sites like the Huffington Post milked the outrage, saying that a double standard applied because men were allowed to board wearing shorts, and leftist men immediately tweated that they would be quick to fly United in yoga pants to show their solidarity. (I have decided to stop flying on airplanes effective immediately.)
The only thing missing from this wall to wall coverage was photos of what "leggings" or yoga pants can actually look like. While the very last thing I would ever want to do is to disseminate photos of women in revealing clothing, it is impossible to discuss a controversy about yoga pants without actually showing visually what we're talking about. Think of it like a visit to your doctor's office where we are just having a clinical, scientific discussion of the issues:
Obviously the results varies from person to person and on the brand of spandex involved. But you can see that for many people, yoga pants is only a quarter step away from nudity. You can see every contour of a woman's rear, and in the front sometimes the outline of her reproductive organs.
That's not appropriate for young girls in public settings. I'm not even sure it's appropriate for adult women in formal settings. But for young girls, it serves to sexualize them prematurely. It can amount to full frontal and full rear nudity, minus the flesh tones. The rule of thumb is, if I can determine whether you're a candidate for labia enlargement surgery while you're fully clothed, your clothes are too tight.
United Airlines, which is now doing a peculiar dance over whether yoga pants are or are not permitted on its flights, was right to require these girls to cover themselves. They were not in yoga or ballet class, they were in a place of business open to the general public where a moderate dress code is not unreasonable. United Airlines can and should have different standards from places like "YogaPantsAss.com".
It is ironic that hardcore feminists decry women being viewed as sexual objects, but on the other hand see no problem about young girls walking around with their private parts sticking out.
