Hundreds in R.I. turn out for parade to defend wearing yoga pants (AP Photos)
CBS News and the Associated Press ^ | 10/23/2016

Hundreds of women, girls and other supporters proudly donned their yoga pants Sunday afternoon as they peacefully paraded around the Rhode Island neighborhood of a man who derided the attire as tacky and ridiculous.

Alan Sorrentino says the response to the letter to the editor, printed in The Barrington Times Wednesday, has been “vicious” and that he’s received death threats. He implored marchers to stay away from his home and maintained the letter was meant to be humorous.

But organizers say the so-called yoga pants parade wasn’t a protest against Sorrentino specifically but part of a bigger movement against misogyny and men dictating how women should dress.

Try marching around your local Mosque. On another note, some women should wear burkkas.

Never was much into yogi pants, but I guess they're okay.

That’s what I’m talking about. These pants can be very tight and clingy in certain spots, which the girls may not want to accentuate like this.

But nobody is telling you how to dress. Dress however you want.

It’s more of a friendly warning than anything else. Girls, you need to know you may attract attention from people you would rather avoid. If you don’t care about that go for it.

Oh, sure. It “wasn’t a protest against Sorrentino specifically,” but they just happened to hold the parade around his house.

Canky deleted 15,000 emails on yoga... surely many of which where she opines on yoga pants - after all, she is more likely to wear a yoga pantsuit than a yoga dress.

Must consult wikileaks to find out what her yoganiss prefers.

If only her 15,000 yoga emails could be common knowledge among the masses, incredible progress on the yoga front could be made.

I’ve had Tim Hawkins song, “Yoga Pants”, running through my head since seeing the headline.

This guy must be unmarried if he thinks women have a sense of humor about personal appearance (or many other usually gender specific issues).

Currently I’m hiding in my closet with a pillow over my head. The only thing worse than ridiculing appearance issues is accusing women of not having a sense of humor. Exceptions numerous and noted.

Yogi doesn't even wear pants! Just a tie and hat.

My wife is 18 years serious 3-5 days a week yoga girl

Hot yoga

Weights yoga

Birkham yoga

Etc

She’s tiny and buxom with a perfect bubble butt that looks like those pics folks have posted

Yoga works if one doesn’t over eat

Her body is simply amazing

Even at 50 like she is

But she will not wear yoga pants out except to yoga ....or around the house if other boys aren’t in the house...we have teens

She thinks first it’s lazy fashion wise

And she doesn’t want men staring at her ass or monkey cleft

End of story

Maybe even yea or so she’ll pull a long cowl neck sweater over yoga pants that cover her ass

I love yoga pants on her but it’s a battle I lost a decade ago

We wouldn’t have yoga pants if thong underwear hadn’t transferred from strippers-only-wear to the general female population.
Just an observation, ymmv.

William Jefferson Clinton: If a broad has a nice ass, I don’t care what, if anything, she wears. But if she is a bovine, she should wear a burka.
