    I kind of hate the idea of uniforms anyways because they are dehumanizing to everyone, but sports is one of the places where it kind of makes sense. You are on a team and stuff.

    I think women having cute outfits is a good thing and I think most women agree.

      You can’t possibly be this sexist and tone deaf. The entire article is about how this is not true and how people like you are ruining sports for girls. You are the problem and you seem intent on making sure everyone here knows it even though your original comment was removed for being so sexist.

          Wow, sexist, racist and Islamophobic all at once.

          There are several women just in this thread telling you that being objectified while trying to compete in a sport is a problem. No one is saying that people can’t dress sexy when they want to, we’re saying it’s a problem when it’s forced on us and expected of us to comply
