'Leggings are so naked, so form fitting, so exposing. Could you think of the mothers of sons the next time you go shopping and consider choosing jeans instead?'
A mother's letter published in Notre Dame's student newspaper urging the university's young women to stop wearing leggings went viral this week — and students organized pro-leggings protests in response.," printed in The Observer — the student newspaper for Notre Dame and neighboring schools St. Mary's and Holy Cross — Maryann White lamented the popularity of the tight-fitting garment amongst the female students of these three Catholic colleges.
White wrote that while attending Mass at Notre Dame's Basilica of the Sacred Heart during her last campus visit, she and her sons sat behind,"a group of young women, all wearing very snug-fitting leggings and all wearing short-waisted tops ." She described the young women as looking like"the leggings had been painted on" their"blackly naked rear ends."
"I was ashamed for the young women at Mass. I thought of all the other men around and behind us who couldn’t help but see their behinds," she wrote, imploring the female students to cover their"nakedness" so that"unsavory" men wouldn't ogle them and upstanding men like her sons wouldn't be forced to avoid looking at their nether regions.
"Leggings are so naked, so form fitting, so exposing. Could you think of the mothers of sons the next time you go shopping and consider choosing jeans instead? Let Notre Dame girls be the first to turn their backs on leggings."
