Why was this in state court? I'm assuming the employer had too few employees for federal sex discrimination law to be applicable?

one month passes...

guys there's something I just need to get off my chest

k3vin k., Friday, 22 February 2013 21:07 (eleven years ago) link

A new fad on campus I've noticed is the lack of pants women are wearing. Well, maybe not a total lack of pants, but pretty close. I am referring to leggings. Initially leggings were meant to be worn underneath another garment such as a skirt or for a little extra warmth. Yet, for some reason women have gone from using it as a supporting piece of clothing to the only garment they wear to cover their lower extremities. I have a few problems with this.

First off, women enjoy, ignore, or are completely unaware of the fact men, like me, are enjoying the show. Come on! When I see a girl with leggings, it's like I am seeing her naked. I can see every curve, from the slope of the calf muscle, to the rise in the hump that we like to call the lovely lady lump. Now being a ‘leg man' myself, I must say for those who have some of the finest legs I've ever seen, I don't mind looking. You are, after all, kind of bringing it on yourself. However, for the ladies whose strong point may not be their legs, please, don't wear leggings. Which leads me to my second problem.

To the unfortunate ladies who haven't been blessed with beautiful legs: lose the leggings.

They are not getting you looks of affection, if that's what you're striving for. In fact, they are probably getting the opposite; looks of disgust, or guys just simply turning the other way. Guys and girls, whether you like to accept it or not, are judging you.

This leads me to my third problem with these blasted leggings. Ladies you're being judged. I can't stress that enough. For us men, if you look good in leggings, we say, "She's lookin' fine!" The next thought for many of us, if we are gentlemen, is, "Wow, I wonder if she gets around." A good, tight pair of jeans will make you ladies feel sexy and take the judging out of the equation. Most gentlemen like a girl who is a little more modest. She knows she's sexy, but doesn't have to show it off. There are very few girls who have figured this concept out. If we see less; we tend to want more.

If this is not convincing enough for you ladies, let me ask you a question. How would you view yourself if you were another person? Imagine this:

You see yourself walking down the street, wearing a backpack and t-shirt. Then, you find yourself rather attractive, and check yourself out. What do you see? Not jeans, or short-shorts, but leggings, which are hiding nothing! Now what do you think you look like? Sounds like a risky investment. Would you walk around naked in front of the whole campus?

You could have envisioned yourself one of three ways. The first is like an attractive woman trying to show off. Maybe you're trying to get some attention, which, you hope will boost your meager self-esteem. Sadly though, the attention you receive isn't going to boost your self-esteem. Instead it will only tear it down more when you realize people are snickering.

Or, you simply realize that you don't look good in leggings. Congratulations! Now focus on your best attribute and accentuate it. I'm not saying you should become overly expressive in other areas, but now that you have realized you're not flattering anyone with your legs, you can either fix that problem or hide it.

Finally, for the lucky few who actually figured modesty out, you have earned yourself a golden star! Whether you have the most attractive legs in the world, or are simply an average girl realizing that leggings aren't helping the cause, you have learned the most important lesson today: leggings are a supporting piece of clothing, and gentlemen will want you whether or not you're showing off your beautiful body. Remember, less is more.

Thank you for this article! As a female, I totally agree that leggings are not meant to be pants, no matter how sexy your body is. I appreciate your male perspective and the fact that you value modesty!

Other ppl judging you based on your appearance is a fact of life; everyone knows this already. The best thing you can do if you want to break the judgment cycle is to keep your judgments to yourself; writing a stupid "I can't help but ogle you unless you wear pants" article is never available solution.

Obviously, with this restriction our Founding Fathers disenfranchised many people based on their race and gender, none of which was right. But they understood a concept that should be applied to today’s voting system. Only if you contribute to the betterment of a country can you vote in its elections.

Feminism has met its goals and women are now equal with men as they should be. We are truly beginning to see feminism change our economy, college campuses and relationships. However, an overreaching has begun to happen through feminism whether or not they realize it.

Feminism has achieved what it was set out to do, and now that women are considered equal, ‘feminists’ want more. The movement is ruining modern relationships, and it’s bringing about the downfall of men. This can easily be seen by the numbers on a college campus and in the modern economy.
