Are you kidding me? I can’t believe the “latest trend”…women running around in sport skirts? Seriously? Supposedly the trend is a skirt “that would allow women to never have to sacrifice femininity for performance in their workout clothes”. Please, I don’t have to wear a damn skirt to work out to know I’m a woman! Weren’t women at one time looked down on for wearing pants and shorts…that changed… and now you want to reverse it? These things are ridiculous! They are a bad mixture of spandex, mini skirts and sex appeal. Not to mention the colors make me feel like I’m choosing Barbie clothes and want to ralf. They cost a fortune and are just fooling with men’s minds!!! Why not just wear the shorts and get it over with…why FLAUNT your skirt and make men think there is more to see…ooops haha there are shorts underneath! Just leave the “sport skirts” to the athletes that wear them…cheerleaders and tennis players. I will not be caught dead working out in one of these! When I work out I want to sweat, pump some iron and get dirty…I guess I can’t wear a skirt to do that…it’s not “sassy” enough and it doesn’t “nuture confidence and happiness”……PHUUULEASE!

Sport Skirts (A rant!!!)
Posted in Mommy rants and raves (may be R rated!)
I think you should enjoy what you wear, working out or not, whether that’s a skirt or a pair of shorts. “just wear the shorts and get it over with” Life’s not a chore. Let’s lighten up and not look down on women for making their own choice. There’s nothing wrong with the body and I think to use the word ‘flaunt’ is to put a taboo on the female form. I enjoy seeing both men and women who dress attractively, shorts, skirt, whatever.
Although I disagree, I did enjoy your post and view point, thanks for sharing.
