Why do feminists say that Olympics sexualizes women and not men?

[Jaysonava]

Are they living on a separate alternate reality?

It's fairly obvious to anyone that the Olympic games sexualizes men an ample amount more than it does women.

They go "Women are sexualized in sports but men aren't"

How can they have a working brain and say that?

Are they lesbians who are just more interested in women than men and so project that out onto everyone else?

and not men

I mean, there is some validity in some of that statement. It definitely sexualizes both. I'm not sure that men have the same degree of limits that women do, though.

Recently the Norwegian Female Handball team was fined for wearing tight 6" inseam shorts instead of bikini bottoms.

Show me a rule that states men have to wear equally as revealing/unusual clothing or face penalties and I'll be once more in favour that it's fully equal. But if no such rule exists for men, then by definition it will be sexist.

There isn't really a reason or need for such a limitation to exist. In fact, arguably it's easier to avoid sand-in-undies with shorts, thus more comfortable and possibly more sanitary.

Athletes should be able to wear whatever makes them comfortable, provided it does not significantly change their performance in ways that would be cheating (e. g. flippers in swimming) or pose a danger to themselves or others (e. g. no capes).

That's very stupid. All athletes are given revealing clothing because it's functional

[Smoke-n-Growls]

Not always functional, dude. Try playing games in a thong, I'm sure you'll find it becomes uncomfortable quite quickly.

If you mean the idiot's who say skin tight clothing is sexualizing then they're just idiots who've never done sports.

Things like it being mandatory in competitive volleyball to wear bikinis bottoms is pointless sexualization that I've not seen in mens sport

[MCheetah]

They're idiots. Who cares what they think. I say, if they're too entitled to wear the attire, then they don't get to play. End of story. Sit down and shut the fuck up. I'm sure plenty of women wouldn't mind taking their place.

And as it's recently been proven, these women who care more about bullshit made-up problems like "the outfits sexualize us" more than actually training and practicing, never win a single thing anyway.

Besides, nobody is thinking of female Olympic athletes who are mostly built like dudes as being "sexy." Get the fuck over yourselves you goddamn narcissists.

The Olympics have become such a joke as of late. Let's throw another trash bag on this dumpster fire, though.

[Curmudgeon]

Feminists today are professional liars. Just understand that.

[Sabretooth]

they're as bad as trumpists.

[lorenzomichael]

Why do you care?

[Jaysonava]

It's just bewildering logic
