People who wear "form fitting/revealing" clothing probably are asking for attention, to be honest. Male or female. If it was a question of comfort than why are yoga pants such a sudden trend when the comfort issue would have existed for ages?

" People who say that it is the woman's fault that men find her desirable and that in order to be appropriately modest she should not be attempting to elicit the desire of men and that should be reflected by restricting her wardrobe choices to clothes which "do not elicit lust." Which apparently includes wearing exercise gear in public."

This kind of glosses over the point that the entire reason most people wear any specific set of clothing is to say something about themselves, to appear a certain way. Do you honestly think that women wearing yoga pants do so because they just feel like it for no reason? What point is there in casually wearing yoga pants? Comfort? Something sweatpants already had? I honestly only see one/two good reasons. One, to look sexy. Two, to follow the idiotic trend of people wearing yoga pants in public.

So you are either a) trying to appeal to men, or b) mindlessly following trends.

Do you think we should be able to go around, wearing anything, and nobody should ever complain because "it's them having the reaction to it, they have to deal with it". Screw public indecency laws. I wanted to have my dick hanging out, it's comfy. Yes, it's an extreme, but it's the same exact argument applied to a different scenario.

Imagine you saw a guy walking around with speedo-jeans that clearly outlined certain areas. Be honest, would you avoid the person? Would you prefer they wear a normal person's clothing? Do you not think that the whole reason people wear clothes in the first place is to make themselves better in the eyes of others?

I understand that the whole "men need to be shielded from women" argument is absolutely bullshit. Men are adults, they can and should be able to deal with seeing a woman outside wearing just about anything. I can't agree with that any more. However, I think there is perfectly valid reason to judge people wearing yoga pants, even without that argument. I honestly don't see how yoga pant-wearing would be a positive/neutral note if I saw someone doing it.

(As a side note: I'm not the sort of person who cares about any of this stuff. I didn't even know about the yoga pants trend until a few months ago, when all my friends started pointing out girls wearing them. It's not something I pay attention to, not something I judge for, and not something I care about personally. However, I can see why others do, and in more severe situations (public indecency) I would have no problem judging people for what they choose to wear, or not wear)

And, honestly, how often would someone going to yoga be seen walking on the street randomly, rather than say, driving to class. The number of people you will see casually walking to a actual yoga class is next to zero. Most of the outrage I see over yoga pants is with them being banned in schools.
