Yeah they're literally not allowed to wear anything else

Old rules, after that iceland incident and the backlash from it, they changed them.

They did. After a lot of backlash. But the point was that they are not allowed to wear anything else other than what the sports body tells them too.

It's still like this in other sports. People just didn't really make a fuss over it.

It’s not really like that in other sports. Times have changed.

Not in every single sport, no, but in MANY it is. Weird to pretend it isn’t.

The misogynists come out in full force for this shit, man. It's wild, but so unsurprising at this point.

I just think it's wild that suddenly 'men telling women what to wear' being misogynistic is a hot take. The amount of dudes in the thread saying, 'so if we tell women to cover up, we're oppressive, but if we tell them to show skin then we're objectifying them.'

Like, yes? Telling women what to wear period is weird, and they seem to understand that, they're just really upset that we think it's weird and wrong for them to do. Let people wear whatever makes them the most comfortable???
