‘You put the top on and your life is sucked out of you’: The fight to change women’s sports uniforms - Lemmy.ca

When Olympian Tess Howard put on her new uniform for Great Britain’s women’s field hockey team in 2021, she felt something she hadn’t expected at the height of her athletic career: embarrassment.

Well their uniforms should be comfortable but also not ugly. Women being beautiful is just one of those free goods that we get in our reality. Most women enjoy being beautiful, and there is no downside so long as people aren’t taking it to crazy lengths.

No downsides except the psychological toll on young woman being forced into embarrassing, impractical outfits on the global stage against their will in a world where the most powerful men have been secretly runing a pedophillic sex ring that traffics young girls?

I kind of hate the idea of uniforms anyways because they are dehumanizing to everyone, but sports is one of the slaves where it kind of makes sense. You are on a team and stuff.

I think women having cute outfits is a good thing and I think most women agree.

You can’t possibly be this sexist and tone deaf. The entire article is about how this is not true and how people like you are ruining sports for girls. You are the problem and you seem intent on making sure everyone here knows it, even though your original comment was removed for being so sexist.

There is nothing sexist about my comment. Just because I have a different opinion or value then you doesn’t make you better. Your idea of women’s sports is stupid. Nobody wants to do that, including most women I assume, except a small group of sexless weirdos like yourself.

You probably don’t deserve to live in a white democratic country. You should go move to Islamastan or something where most people agree with you.

Wow, sexist, racist and Islamophobic all at once.

There are several women just in this thread telling you that being objectified while trying to compete in a sport is a problem. No one is saying that people can’t dress sexy when they want to, we’re saying it’s a problem when it’s forced on us and expected of us to comply
