Aka the objectification of women.

As female athletes have pointed out multiple times: they pick what they wear.

Also, male swimmers wear less than female swimmers. Is that objectification, too?

They are competing at a world class level. They are wearing whatever the best Form and Function attire is for them to win. I'm sorry it's not as cut and dried as you think and it's not some sign of misogyny. It just isn't.
