Why, oh why does the fitness industry assume all women are working out to be ogled? I went looking for new workout shorts a week ago. I'm a woman, and while I don't mind leggings, they're kind of warm for summer. So I wanted shorts. But I don't like feeling as though I'm showing the world my butt, plus short shorts ride up a LOT. So I need mid-thigh length or longer. I browsed the womens section and couldn't find anything I wanted. It was all capri length leggings with no pockets, or shorts that just barely covered my butt. I tried the men's' section. Bonanza! Practically all of the shorts there were what I was looking for. The fell past mid-thigh, had pockets, and were light weight. I bought 2 pairs of great shorts for the price of one pair of leggings. It will be a long time before I hit up the women's workout pants again.
