Comment on ‘My hoo haa is gonna be out’: US Olympians slam Nike for skimpy women’s track kit

  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.

    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.
