Are "Yoga pants" indecent?

Are yoga pants a threat to public decency? It might seem so after the beloved athletic wear once again made headlines - this time after a lawmaker debating public decency said the pants "should be illegal".

Yoga pants, as they are called in the US, or leggings, are a current fashion staple for women who are either into yoga or want to look athletic while running errands. They're soft and stretchy, but also form-fitting.

In 2014 denim sales fell 6% as the growing trend of "athleisure" encouraged more women to reach for comfortable leggings instead of skinny jeans. According to Anu Hastings with the product database Inix, over 2,700 types of so-called "yoga pants" are now available on the market.

With the increased exposure (in more ways than one) has come increased controversy.

Montana lawmaker David "Doc" Moore received national attention this past Wednesday when he proposed a bill aimed at bolstering the states indecent exposure laws. He was prompted after a nude bike ride in Missoula, Montana, made clear that the indecent exposure laws in the city were, well, bare.

There's a lady that's gotta be in her late 40s early 50s that does boxercise at my gym, fantastic figure but wears them all the time. Had a quick round of who would, 3 to 10 in favour of...

Obviously I voted for but the others were convinced it'd be bad without them pants.

The law maker may have a point, maybe we're getting tricked?

The idea behind banning these pants is that men want to stare these womens asses as they were these pants. Well men stare those asses anyway so nothing changes even if they were banned. So why not concentrate on more serious causes because God knows there are plenty of them.
