To protect Yoga Pants (and women wearing them)

Although most of us who live in 2018 are concerned about tackling gun control, sexual assault and gender equality, one woman has made it her mission to change the world - wearing only one pair of yoga pants at a time.

In a New York Times commentary entitled Why Yoga Pants Are Not Good for Women, senior staff editor Horne Jones used 870 characters to launch a popular and versatile sportswear with almost all those wearing yoga pants. To attack. At least, people are very angry, which is taken for granted.

Jones (some guess it's a pseudonym) accuses women of wearing tight black pants because they are sexy and look sexy in the gym, not because they are really practical, comfortable and great.

In Jones'opinion, the only people allowed to wear tight sports pants are deep-sea divers and Olympic speed skaters (no, cyclists and runners, as well as yoga practitioners! - You are not allowed. The rest of us should insist on wearing loose sweaters for exercise. That's even more important if you're over 30, according to Jones, which means there's no business even if you think about wearing a pair. Very good.

-Of course, women can enjoy health and freedom. "Maybe we can conquer the world with spandex," Jones wrote. & But is it not easy to wear pants? When wearing pants, don't you threaten every woman over 30 to show dimples and roll them up? & Did you hear that, ladies? You'd better cover yourself up unless you look perfect.

Jones also put pressure on women to spend a lot of money in class and to wear sportswear, which she thought gave women a wrong message and shocked the whole boutique fitness industry. & "When yoga pants are the first clothes that adult women wear every morning, we can help absorb the message that keeping healthy is our primary goal in life," she claims.

Although Jones's message is feminist in nature, her inner meaning is probably good. Her sport goal is to focus on body-building clothes, which is totally absurd.

If Honor Jones is really a real person, that might be a good idea, because the online rebound is rapid and cruel.

New York Times: Why can't women over 30 conquer the world?

Women over 30 years of age: sexual harassment, rape culture, Republican Party, white privileges, white feminism, gun violence, wage disparity, Jerry work, no abortion...

New York Times: Yes! Yoga pants. Https://t.co/45p5bil7ij— Nina bargiel (@slackemiss) February 18, 2018

most of us have attended yoga, Pilates or spinning classes in loose sweaters, which can prove that they are just uncomfortable, just a little hindered. An important part of yoga and Pilates is body shape. Wearing loose pants makes it harder to see what you're doing. Loose pants can even be dangerous for spinning bicycles and reformers because they tend to be entangled by machines.

But Jones shouldn't humiliate anyone who chooses to walk on Leggings except for obvious logistics. There are so many conversations about the importance of physical humiliation and physical motivation that it's totally uncool to attack women who choose to dress. In recent years, we have made great progress in sexual orientation, clothing size, race and overall aesthetic sense, making 50 statements about why yoga pants are harmful to women wrong. Women, take pride in your yoga pants (or other clothes you like). Jones, please find something more convincing to write about, such as the dwarf three-toed sloth or world peace. Read more:
