Debate Christians For Or Against Wearing Leggings

Hello Eya, please share this argument in support and against wearing leggings...

St. Josemaria Escriva...

Leggings make it look like you aren't wearinganything to a guy. This is the most fundamentalreason you should not wear leggings as pants. Menare visual creatures, you see. They are as attuned totheir eyes and images as women are to emotionsand feelings. When they see an image, their brainsare simply wired to react to them, most of the timein a lustful or harmful way if the image isprovocative.

I don't have

time in now to go intothe details about this topic, but there is plenty ofresearch out there available if you're looking for it.So to a guy, when you wear leggings, you might aswell be wearing nothing at all. Yes, I know that thefabric technically covers all of your skin, but that isno excuse. You certainly can't wear sensibleunderwear with them, which is certainly attractiveand therefore bad. And really? There is nothing leftto the imagination. Your legs and rear might becolored black instead of your skin color, but everynook and cranny of them is as visible to a guy as ifyou were Unclad. He can see your curves, and that isprovocative stimuli for a man. If you wear leggings,you are (intentionally or not) leading men to lustafter you.

If you're doing that on purpose, shame onyou! Getting a guy to lust after you is not somethingyou should aspire to. If you want a good husbandwhen you're older, or wouldn't want a girl to do thatto your brother/cousin/guy friend/boyfriend, thendon't do it to them. If you're not doing it on purpose,be more conscious from now on, and please, choosepants next time.

"ANSWERER..."My pet peeve is people who say 'if you were really aChristian, you would...". Christians believe in Christand accept His grace, period. There is behaviorunbecoming a Christian, but there is no "unchristianbehavior".

That being said, wow, my daughter and I argue thisall the time. She wears leggings and sweatshirts! Tome, that just isn't modest and I don't like it. But Ijust have to trust her judgment on it. She is a greatChristian girl, engaged in lots of youth activities anda great moral kid.

PS: My daughter even wears that to churchactivities. I suggested maybe it wasn't "churchappropriate wear" and she - correctly - pointed outthat people shouldn't dress one way at church andanother (less modest) way at school...you should bewho you are both at church and school

I asked one non christian woman why she wearsstuff like that and she told me "Its my body and if Ihave it I will show it off!" That is a very anti-Jesusattitude. What surprised me was her boy friend hadno problem with her doing that and he told me hethinks its cool because it shows other guys what shehas and makes them jealous. This is the fruit ofthrowing the Word of God out of society.

it may not be AA (Asbury Appropriate) to wearleggings, and for that reason, maybe you shouldsave them for the summer. Men, if you can't controlyourself around a woman because of the way she isdressed, learn some self control because, believeme, even if leggings are forever banned fromAsbury, they will be out there taunting you-alongwith a million other scandalous fashion statements-in the "real world." And ladies, no matter whatyou wear, it is not your responsibility to keep aman's lust subdued. Wear what expresses who youare and above all, be smart. Beauty is first andforemost self-respect, and secondly confidence.
