loungewear...what's the big deal?!?!

one of my favorite bloggers is the pioneerwoman.  she is absolutely hysterical, and with the exception of her bazaar love of her dog, charlie... she has the makings of what could be my very best friend in the whole wide world.  well, in her blogs she often makes reference to black GAP yoga pants.  so, the other day when randy and i were driving somewhere, and we do that OFTEN....i told him i would like to try these amazing pants.  of course his response to this is one i would have predicted, as he is anti stretchy pants.  i think he said something along the lines of, why do women buy those if they aren't going to work out?  i don't understand.  you don't see men wearing them...  he said that he thinks women should do like men, wake up, put their pants and shirts on and be dressed for real already.  or something to that effect.  i don't know why it's a big deal to him.  i can't even begin to imagine my life without my stretchy black pants.  i cannot wait to get into them!  i love the days when i don't have to get out of them.  and dog on it, i want to at least try on those GAP pants!!!  all this to say, why do men have this weird hatred towards loungewear?  so i thought about it some more.  here is all i could come up with....our pants are fitted.  we have all of these things on under our clothes that are fitted.  being a woman has for centuries been one of the most uncomfortable things to be on the planet!  from corsets to girdles to spanx and back, women are uncomfortable!  no wonder we are cranky!  and i haven't even begun on underwire, push up, padded, or cleavage reducing bras.  good grief!  the lounge pant is the one comfy thing in our lives for crying out loud....let us lounge!  it's really awesome that you get to put on your loose fitting jeans and a shirt and be done with it.  but all that means to me is that you can't enjoy the blessing that the lounge pant truly is.  and so now i am done with that.  i am going to GAP.  i will fight for the right to lounge.  it's a worthy cause....in my opinion...
