The Internet is "discussing" this picture and in many places one side is being insulted for the outfit the choose. Some people are also writing condescendingly: Both choices are completely fine (star-emoji).
What most people fail to recognize is that none of the women really chose their outfit. They are forced to do their sport in outfits that are approved by the men of their patriarchal system. In one system you have to cover yourself, in the other you have to get naked to be able to take part.

The guy who invented the Ferris Wheel never met the guy who invented the Merry-go-Round ..

They traveled in different circles.

@cstross I am shocked, *shocked* to hear that the pro-natalist libertarian industrialist with kids by numerous younger women who wants to colonize space and whose father married his own adopted daughter is a Heinlein fan. There is absolutely no way to know that the Musks loved the works of RAH. No way at all.
