Women's volleyball teams are raging because of countries requiring full body suits, not the other way around.

Some of those are "toxic" (sinful) but not all. That was my point initially in that the left takes characteristics they don't like and applies a derogatory and negative label to them in order to dissuade men from acting that way without a compelling moral reason for doing so.

Using leftism to push sharia law. Just like the terrorist mayor of London has done. Genius.

Women's gymnastics just lost 98% of their audience


If so, doesnt that make their point for them?

But really, I would guess more women than men watch this. If so, do you think women will be turned off to the sport by seeing less skin?

Their point is 100% and should be meaningful to those with kids entering the sport. There is zero functional need for them to be wearing a bathing suit essentially. People do every move imaginable in yoga wearing way more.

I hate to see if but after the way these elite athletes and kids have been abused, some moderation might be in order.

This is silly. If you don't think Simone Biles is worth watching for her mastery and dominance, then something is wrong with you.

I have no problem with them pushing back on having to wear outfits that make them uncomfortable.

Still won’t ever be enough! Just a big black hole(heck they’ll probably change that term soon) just the same as school funding...there’s never enough.

They're just getting out ahead before the first guy says he's a girl and wants to wear a leotard. If he was forced to wear something else, that would blow the "he's a girl" theory out of the water.

the "sexualization" of the sport's female athletes.


Well there goes the one reason to watch women gymnastics. Just one more female sport made less interesting. It's like taking the crashes and fights out of NASCAR.
