Girls, Does wearing a cup for sports make me look scared?

No, in fact I make my male students wear them when we spar in my martial art.

It's not likely I'll hit them, but it's a matter of protection and risk management.

There's some pretty serious consequences if you get smacked hard there. It's stupid not to wear one if it's needed.

Do you have to wear padding?

I mean, depends on the sport? Contact sports, or sports where it can be probable to have something aimed/hit at your groin, go for it.
If you're shoving it on for yoga, I might judge.

What about a sport that the woman doesn’t need to wear any padding? Does it make me look overprotective?

[HelpfulWoman]

you'll probably need to give an example. also pretty dumb to compare woman to man groins since duh, we probably wouldn't use protective cups around the area for most sports.

Things like soccer or field hockey - I just worry the cup makes me look like I’m not as tough as them

Girls, does wearing a cup to exercise make me look scared?
if the context is sports, it's okay.
