    The deviant in me likes it, but man I don’t think women should have to wear stuff like this to work if they don’t want to.

      I don’t know how to be completely proper without diminishing the meaning of my statement all the time, but I agree with this statement’s substance and structure. I hope people can take comments like this without feeling degraded.

      Nobody should be forced to wear a uniform that diminishes their hard work and achievements that earned them the required uniform. Olympians are going to want high performance garb - generally tight-fitting and light weight. That doesn’t mean the team organizers should go hog wild on showing skin to boost ratings. It’s impressive, inspiring, and (for me) a bit depressing to see the peak human form without being creepy, but these folks have worked far too hard to be objectified.

      But if they’re down, I’m down

        Do NCAA gymnasts have uniform issues?

        Meet ‘butt glue’ - the men can pick to wear shorts or leggings, but nah. Butt glue it is.

    TIL at 35 what Cat is out of the bag means…

    • clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      It means to say something that can’t be unsaid, usually in the context of blabbing a secret. The origin is from the British Royal Navy in the age of sail. The “cat” is a Cat’o’ nine-tails a type of whip used for punishment. It was stored in a velvet bag, and once it came out there was no going back, it was going to be used on you.

  So the tops are nearly identical. But women clearly need massive lower ventilation…or something.

  Yeah this just shows Nike is being sexist as fuck. Swap these suits by gender and let’s see what happens.

    That pattern on TV will create awful moire patterning. Terrible design in general.

      Whennn the suit hurts your eyes / and shows way too much thigh / that’s a moiré

  That is absolutely degrading, why is it impossible to give women similar kinds of shorts as men gets?

  source

  • Not_mikey@slrpnk.net ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Their is a shorts option for women as well, you can see it on the far right in the picture in the article.

    Sucks for women who do usually like wearing briefs but they aren’t being forced to wear this.

    Women’s buttmyscles move differently than men’s do. So they need a higher cut to compensate for that.

    ;p

    • stoy@lemmy.zip ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Sure women’s anatomy is slightly different, but there are other ways to desl with that other than to just give them one tiny crotch strap.

        It was at one point just going to be three pieces of tape.

  I am pretty aghast at how revealing that track outfit is. It’s already bad enough how short women’s running shorts are compared to mens; if you have even slightly thicker thighs they can chafe pretty badly!
