The Attire Of Female Athletes

I am glad to see female athletes rebelling against sexist standards in athletic attire.

There is nothing particularly political in my use of the word "sexist". Men being allowed to play volleyball in shorts, while women being required to wear bikini bottoms. Then when they wear shorts like the men-- being fined.

Athletes are professionals. They can decide what attire is best for them. Athletic guilds should focus on broad standards that don't afford undue distraction or performance advantages.

I concur on all points. It feels like exploitation to me.
Yet I see a few who are agreeing but will post or support the constant posting of nude women, specifically breasts and ass. How ironic.

@Magenta mostly of women who consented to being posted, that's the difference

@BlueVeins Yes I get that those images are out there for the taking, but one doesn't have to perpetuate the mentality.

@Magenta Why? If a woman puts her boobs out on the Internet hoping for guys to fap to them, sharing those booby shots is respectful to her wishes.
