The Globe's Dover correspondent gets down with some real talk for suburban moms: Stop making the rest of us suffer by forcing us to see you in your boring black leggings and stuff. At least put on a silk top before you go out, for Christ's sake.

It's one thing to publish it yourself on your own noxious blog or on FB, but quite another for a publication that still wants to pretend it's respected and respectable to pay someone for this fucking internalized-misogynist drivel.

But real journalism (aka the Spotlight series) cost money. Money that comes from subscribers and advertisers. Articles like this bring them in thus enabling the more journalistic side of the house.
Sadly, the percentages are getting more and more skewed but I still believe the Globe does important journalism. And if this is the price we have to pay for it, so be it. YMMV.

I guess it's a suburban thing...? In the parts of Boston where I live and frequent, the vast majority of women who are wearing yoga pants are also carrying yoga mats so clearly they are walking to or from yoga class, or they are jogging or power-walking with weights or with a dog, in other words: working out. The fact that this 'journalist' spent so much time thinking and strewing about this first world problem topic speaks volumes about her as a boring and shallow individual. I despise The Globe more and more with each vapid article.
Hey!

We aren't uptight Europeans in the U.S., who are shit scared strangers will think they're gypsy drug addicts if they dress down. Wealthy South Americans are the same way. Americans and Canadians on average dress more casually. Just the way we are. Why do you need to dress like you're going clubbing every day, even food shopping or hanging out?

When will the Globe finally drop the word "Boston" from their masthead? This article is exhibit eleventy bajillion in the case proving that they care far more about their subscribers in Metro West than they do about Boston.
Also, thank you Adam for providing a news source about the actual city.
Thank God for UHub

You would never see a story about suburban mom fashion posted here, that's for sure!

I think that the core UHub audience DOES consider a link-baity article about the Globe catering to suburban doofuses newsworthy.
May I be the first to thank Adam for not

This isn't a black or white issue. There's certainly an argument to be made that casual wear in public has gone too far.

There's still valid arguments on each side. It doesn't mean that one trend has to continue.

They were all, "Can you believe men are wearing tuxedos to dinner instead of tailcoats? It's the end of civilization, I tell you."
I still don't see what's so downtown about that show. I wore my nicest velour tracksuit and my fancy Chucks (the clean ones) to my granny's funeral, and no one gave a toss. Comfort FTW!
