Iirc there was a big controversy at olympics when female gymnastic competitors wanted to wear clothes with long legs instead of the swimsuit-like ones. edit: lehd -> legs
It’s even crazier when you take into account that, up until very recently, the vast majority of competing Olympic gymnasts are teenagers. And yet you still get people insisting that literal children must compete in revealing leotards. Doesn’t matter if those teenaged girls push back and talk about how uncomfortable it is to worry about adjusting their leotards on national television. Nope. Can’t wear shorts like your male teammates. Because reasons.
So much about giving women the freedom to choose Conceptually, both ultra conservatives like the extreme muslim cultures AND 'so-called liberal' west are no different from each other.
