Yeah I saw that in the last Olympics, when the women's volleyball teams stood up against sexism.

Then it spread to gymanstics too!

It was great!

Men should be forced to be just as naked as women!

I hope they start making men run track and field in bikini bottoms.

I'm all for equality!

There is also a disproportionate male audience for female athletics and beach volleyball. Leaves little to the imagination.

I’d prefer sports for all genders that leave nothing to the imagination.

^ Yes, equality!

Bikini bottoms, tampons, bras.
Throw some straps over male swimmers' shoulders too.

Yeah but can they run in those?

Or, can they swim with suspenders on their budgie smugglers?

I used to have to wear them in high school for swimming. They damn well cut of blood flow to by genitals.

Google Tayla Harris, she's a women's footballer. She created a media storm when she kicked a goal and the photo went viral. I won't re-produce it here in case I get banned.

I still don't get it.

She was wearing the uniform that men decided she has to wear.
She has a human body.
She did an amazing kick.
She has skin between her legs.

And? ...


I understand that people complained or freaked out.
Let's see their kick, and start from there.

Women's tennis there's something called the Anna Kournikova effect
https://bleacherreport.com/articles/167 ... ens-tennis

Basically Kornikova got millions in sponsorship deals to play tennis in hot little outfits. Meanwhile players who were actually good like Serena and Venus WIlliams were only making a fraction of the money that "marketable" but less talented female players could attract from sponsors.
