Do you agree men should have to take their shirts off for Olympic beach sports? This is how they dress for competitions outside the Olympics anyway, and it would be more entertaining for female audiences, so same logic.
You're confused.
It's about the audiences and sponsors, not gender.
Male sports is competitive, and audiences are guaranteed. Hence the shirt sales and sponsors fighting to get onto those shirts. They know they will make the cost plus big profits, back.
Female sports is less competitive, and more gimmick prone. Hence less money, sponsors and audiences. Scantily clad bimbo's playing volleyball was an image many pubescent males grew up with. But volleyball has become a more respectable and professional sport these past few years.
Hence the movement to make it more respectable for the players too.

The previous difference in uniform (men in shorts and shirts, women in bikinis) absolutely were sexist. I believe female competitors who wear the bikinis when they say that those uniforms are more practical and comfortable than a one-piece or shorts and shirt. So why weren't the guys allowed briefs like divers and polo players wear? I'm using past tense here because the uniform standards for women aren't as restrictive due to complaints from some female players. Bikinis are optional now, women are allowed shorts and shirts.
I think each should go with what is comfturble for them
We want best results not most eye candy
But shirtless be nice for the eyes
For me it's not a matter of fairness or equality or whatever. I just want eye candy, lol. So yeah, take it off!

Here’s a compromise. T-shirts optional. Men can either go without a shirt or use a T-shirt women can go with whatever they had before or use a T-shirt.
I say T-shirt to optimize comfort and mobility.
We could have polo shirts as a third option but you get the point. A loose fitting short sleeve shirt sorta like tennis.I don't care what they wear, but in the Olympics it must be uniform. Shirts, no shirts, I don't care, but they must all be in the uniform of their country. I hope it is not necessary to explain what uniform means.
It's not the same since men are the biggest sport spectators. Whether or not it's "fair" is a different question since it's about the money these organizations make. Honestly I don't think it matters to the athletes whether or not they wear shirts, guys do it all the time. Ever heard the term "shirts vs. skins"?
It will never happen, Gay people run the media and they are against men having body hair on camera. They want all men to be emasculated prepubescent boys. Olympic athletes are not under any contract and can't be controlled like other professional athletes.
Might as well keep their shirt on if they are all going to look like braless, shirtless women like the ones in the pictures.
There are kids watching.
Would it really be more entertaining to female audiences though? What if the guys wore muscle shirts, then you could see their muscles without having to see their hairy torsos.
Shirtless and wearing the same volleyball shorts us girls wear so guys will stop sexualizing fabric
Yes they should have to take their shirts off makes more sense for a beach sport and better for us if we can enjoy their bodies
I think the larger take away point is. Some Women are just as creepy and pervy as some men.

Yes why not might make the sport more interesting 😂
I have always maintained that if the topless law applies to females then it should equally apply to males as well.
No, just... it's optional. Keep 'em on or don't. Who gives a fuuu-
I think all athletes should wear what they are comfortable to perform in.
Why not let everybody decide for their own, men as well as women?
I don't think it matters one way or the other
Girls are scoping us out at volleyball? This is news to me.
I don’t see how it matters.
Its up to the sporting body.
I don't see the women going topless.
Sure, if it helps them perform well.
