There is a fad trying to come among our Holiness people. To allow girls to wear what they call leggings.
Leggings, it is nothing more than a step to wearing...pants!
OMG!!! Sin! Sin!

(23,092 posts)I have a pair that I wear under my jeans when it's extra, extra, super cold. I couldn't wear the men's if I wanted to. I'm short, and I'm sure those things would be at least 6-8 inches too long!
One advantage of leggings is that they come in a wider variety of colors and patterns than either women's or men's long john's do. I don't own any myself at the moment, because I live in those sinful, unholy things called pants most of the time.

(32,993 posts)I did this yearterday with a pair of jeans. They fit OK, but were 3 inches too long. Could have cuffed them, but that would have looked really dorky. So, I took out the scissors and fixed the problem.

(27,957 posts)Course, if I cut mine I often hemmed them. 🙂

(5,127 posts)in November. I wear leggings occasionally under a long tshirt. Too fat to wear them as actual pants
oldsoldierfadingfast
(458 posts)Know a woman who at over 80 yo had lost 30 # in 3 months due to illness. Her (L) foot had 1+ swelling all the time and both feet were almost black looking. On her visit to her PCP, she wore ankle length leggings - showed her (L) foot to PCP. That day, she had over 3+ swelling, causing great concern. When back home, she removed the leggings, laid down and propped up her leg. Swelling went down immediately. The leggings had cut the flow of her return circulation. A change in her heart medication and her legs now have a normal color and only occasional (L) foot swelling. This was 3 years ago; she has never worn leggings again.
On another note, I gave red long johns to a couple of male friends as a joke Christmas gift. They both work out in the cold of foothill mountains during winter. They both actually liked them, say they wear them and I have one's picture, in a modelling pose, hanging on my 'fridge.

Barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen. This is their goal for all women.
It's ironic that some women are enabling this shit.
I_UndergroundPanther
(13,408 posts)In the kitchen , subservient to males, even if he beats the snot out of her she must enable men. I hate conservative abusive misogynistic men. World would be better off without these degenerates.
that is their goal to have women subservient to men.
They don't care about women dying in preventable hospital situations, 93% of white women in Texas are dying since the ban took effect. They don't care about children either, the GQP didn't extend the child tax credit to avoid poverty of children. 1 in 3 women in the South with abortion bans with the exception of Virginia are dying from preventable health issues. These are people like JD Vance, and that Moreno guy who's saying women over 50 why are worried about the issue of abortion, mocking women Moreno, you bastard.
And the worst is the felon saying he's the protector of women???? What a sick fuck.
I_UndergroundPanther
(13,408 posts)The fact assbackwards churches like this one are trying to take over this country they should be seen as terrorists. At minimum a threat to freedom and democracy.

(8,213 posts)they'd see how much of a put down of their own men this is! They're too sensitive and ignorant to control their own actions and urges. They're subject to any whim or breeze of a woman that passes by him. They can't keep their hands (or other parts) where they belong and off a woman's body. They don't think anymore of their men than they do of their women. Everyone to them is trash... period. Except for them, of course.

I think it might be why you see lighter color suits worn in The South for Summer wear.
AnnaLee
(1,414 posts)I happened to have bought my first pair of leggings (stretch) a couple of weeks ago and they were beige colored. I wanted them to be able to wear some of my comfy summer pants into fall. I was going to wear them under my summer pants but, no one at Amazon told me that it was an unholy no-no. The ones I bought are really soft and comfy. Is it a sin to feel soft and comfortable? I don't think I like their god very much.

Leggings? Oh sure. Thats what, when diving, you encircle your fingers around before the lobster laughs at you and moves on.

Diamond_Dog
(41,533 posts)Pants cover up a lot more and are more modest IMO. When I was in grade school girls were forbidden to wear pants. Imagine going out on the playground in a dress, climbing the monkey bars in a dress. Gym class in a dress. Its about the most insane thing I can think of. Yet thats how it was back then.
These religious pervs just want to see a girls bare legs.
colorado_ufo
(6,270 posts)Same here. Legs froze in the winter. Skirts just make for "easy access," IMO.
Diamond_Dog
(41,533 posts)I also remember when it was like 10 degrees outside and we walked to school, girls *were* allowed to wear pants
under our dress! Upon arrival at school we had to take the pants off! Just mind numbingly insane!

(14,757 posts)The pastor/principal said, when asked why, "I think a girl is more modest wearing pants than when she's on the playground running around with her skirt flying up." Made sense to me! And good thinking on his part.

(12,192 posts)many decades ago, our denomination made us girls wear skirts on hayrides.
If that preacher enacts this decree, he's going to lose allot of women from his congregation.
Why on earth would ANYONE want to return to the past? My internal liberation barometer reads
this old fart as an old-fashioned dude who hasn't adjusted to the real world.
