As part of some research I have been carrying out recently into peculiar Hotmail behaviour I stumbled on an hilarious controversy relating to "Leggings" and how they inflame the male passion:
I’ve thought about writing this letter for a long time. I waited, hoping that fashions would change and such a letter would be unnecessary — but that doesn’t seem to be happening. I’m not trying to insult anyone or infringe upon anyone’s rights. I’m just a Catholic mother of four sons with a problem that only girls can solve: leggings.

The emergence of leggings as pants some years ago baffled me. They’re such an unforgiving garment. Last fall, they obtruded painfully on my landscape. I was at Mass at the Basilica with my family. In front of us was a group of young women, all wearing very snug-fitting leggings and all wearing short-waisted tops (so that the lower body was uncovered except for the leggings). Some of them truly looked as though the leggings had been painted on them. (The Observer LINK)

I often wonder and even despair about Americans and in particular about their over-sensitive religious fundamentalists. When will they bring back shaven heads, tarring and feathering?

Next time I fly to the USA I think I will makea point of wearing leggings - just to see what response they elicit from American Catholic Moms ;)
 
I was walking home from town today with a nice young lady in front of me in leggings that looked sprayed on and her bum was so bloody peachy. I have seen far too many large arsed horrendopigs wearing them as well <shudder>.
 
Can guarantee if i started walking round with my lunchbox on display I'd have some explaining to do. Perfectly ok for a woman to let us know what she had for dinner last night though.

I had the misfortune recently of witnessing a slightly larger woman who had decided to forego underwear. She bent over and gave me and two colleagues a full view of her starfish. Delightful.

No, nothing wrong with women wearing leggings. What is totally wrong is the wrong "size" of woman wearing them. It's just the way of the world nowdays that a huge majority of women wear clothes that absolutely they should not be wearing, leggings being the most obvious.
 
I don't care if people walk around naked, so I don't care if they wear skintight semi-clothing. Leggings are convenient. I wear them myself, although the ones I wear aren't skintight. They're just a form of trousers.

Unforgiving garments? Certainly. But convenient. Suitable for a church? Well, that's up to the church.

I once saw a woman out on the town in skintight leggings and a skintight top that were quite precisely colour-matched to her skin. I thought she was naked (and must be freezing - this was late on an autumn night in the midlands). Her choice in clothing certainly did a good job of attracting attention to her, which is the point of posing clothing.

Just seems like there's so many more important things to focus on when raising a child than what other people choose to wear. Very strange woman.
 
Like a couple of others have said, the larger women wearing them is just wrong, they reveal far to much at times
 
The woman should spend less time writing stupid opinion pieces and more time raising her sons to not blame these girls for "asking for it". She's made me unreasonably angry, what an idiot.

Yes, one would think that anyone who wastes time in church might be focused on something else.
However, as you say - a very strange woman.

Don't be so hard on yourself, why not spend some time calming down in a church?
