You say it's sexist and biased. UA doesn't allow stretchy pants.* So for men that would fall under sweatpants and leggings would be the female equivalent. So if UA deems that cotton stretchy pants are unacceptable to both sexes how is it biased?
A lot of people raised the issue of the Dad wearing shorts. Well guess what women can wear shorts too.....so it's not like men are held to different standards.
The official policy (below) actually isn't gender specific...which gets into other issues which I won't bring into this.
The following attire is unacceptable in any cabin but is not limited to:
Any attire that reveals a midriff
Attire that reveals any type of undergarments
Attire that is designated as sleepwear, underwear or swim attire
Mini skirts
Shorts that are more than three inches above the knee when in a standing position
Form-fitting lycra/spandex tops, pants and dresses
Attire that has offensive and/or derogatory terminology or graphics
Attire that is excessively dirty or has holes/tears
Any attire that is provocative, inappropriately revealing, or see-through
Bare feet
Beach-type, rubber flip-flops
*It doesn't specifically say sweatpants but there is another list that says they aren't acceptable.
Fail to see how this is such a Puritanical policy that people are outraged over.
