Reading an interesting (and depressing) article about uniforms and performance wear expectations for girls/women in sports. And how it actively drives some women away from athletics.

Why do sports' associations force women to look attractive rather than wear what will help them play/perform well?

Gotta pull those viewers in somehow! :cautious:

As someone that participated in sports from junior high throughout college, I (sadly) got used to the fact that in my sport (track and field), I'd be wearing a uniform that left little to the imagination.
 
Why? Because patriarchy. 😕

I was a competitive swimmer for 10 years I wore a speedo..hell at one point I wore what was called a paper suit and was told to take it off shortly after each race or it may dissolve wearing uniforms that leave little to the imagination can cut both ways
 
Sat in my hot tub, surrounded by gorgeous women, smoking a Cuban cigar and...wait...wake up....I'm sat with a cup of tea, listening to the latest Pulp album.
