I often referred to jammers and "half pants" (that are passed off for men's shorts) as "leg veils".
However, take look at this:

Scroll down to the paragraph "Do men have a dress code as well?" and there is a rule that men are not to show their bare legs or the lower part of their body in public.
People in the U.S. a quick to condemn the Mid East for their sexist/fascist policies, yet we've got the same thing going on right here!!!
