I love when scumbags freely out themselves.
Like, that is messed up. Are you saying that women are just things to look at? Because that's what it sounds like, yo.
For one thing there is an issue of agency, or control over their own appearance. Dressing up to look and feel pretty FOR THEMSELVES is a completely different thing from having an external force dictate their apparel. Let's be real, that "external force" is probably mostly a bunch of old dudes.
Another issue, and this is a big one, sports isn't about ogling hot bods! They are there to play sports. Athletes, especially Olympic ones, put immense work into training so they can excel at their sport of choice. They do not put all that work in just to become "eye candy" or anything of the sort.
They don't do this to dudes anywhere near as bad. Imagine if the NBA uniform was crop tops and skin tight briefs or something. That can be comfortable, but in front of an arena and the whole world? Different story.
