Women's Rights Groups Offended By Olympic Beach Volleyball Uniforms

Aome women's rights groups are not happy with the "sexist" uniforms that the women's volleyball players are wearing at the Paris Olympics...

quote:
Beach Volleyball is one of the most popular sports in the Olympic Games each year - and often the most talked about.

The stark differences between uniforms for men and women are often pointed out, with the latter wearing figure hugging high-rise bikinis, whereas their male counterparts don loose loose tank tops and shorts. ..

[In 2012] the International League for Women's Rights held a protest in the capital city against gender discrimination in the sport.

At the time, Annie Sugier, spokeswoman for the International League for Women's Rights, told Forbes: 'They are using women's bodies as sex.

'It is all about money. It makes women look like objects and it is a clear case of sexism.'

At the time, female athletes said that while people may tune in to view them in tight swimwear, they will stay for the sport. …

Aussie Natalie Cook said she was 'OK with it' as it is the 'only sport where women dominate,' whereas Misty May-Treanor added that 'what you see is what you get'.

Some women actually prefer wearing bikinis as they say two-pieces prevent sand from getting trapped in their uniform, as they dive into the ground to save the ball.

Retired player Jennifer Kessy told Today that that sand was 'restricting' and 'limiting' her movements. …

Female volleyball players are now allowed to play their sport in leggings, with Marie-Sara Stochlova from the Czech Republic recently taking advantage of the changes.

French players Alexia Richard and Lezana Placette donned shorts and t-shirts under their bikini tops last week.

Leftists are the scum of the Earth. They ruin everything.

Only if you let them.

when "women's rights groups" start objecting to men competing against women, then I might take them seriously. But not until then...

Tasseo•17 months

What happened to "their body their choice"??

JackieTreehorn•17 months

The unwashed, obese, zit covered, unibrow liberal women are pathetic losers.

CanebreakCajun•17 months

Men can fight women in olympic boxing and the leftists defend men beating up women. But women choosing their own outfits while playing other women is too far. Fricken socialists.

PeleofAnalytics•17 months

The women are allowed to wear shorts and t-shirts if they want. A lot of Muslim competitors basically go out there with pajamas on. If you have a problem with it, go after the women who freely choose to wear the bikinis. But that would be slut shaming and would take you off the moral high ground you think you have here.

The person who wrote that article has never played a sport in their life, is pastey white and and probably weighs 400 pounds.

Response should be “ok, be offended”

If they want to wear it, they can & will

LSUbacchus81•17 months

Well, it is beach volleyball. What do women normally wear to beach?

No one hates women like feminists.

chinhoyang•17 months

"Huge behemoths with dog faces and who wear muu-muus to the beach don't like the beach volleyball bikinis."

SwampyWaters•17 months

My only complaint is some of the participants had entirely too large of a bathing suit on, both top and bottom!

Timeoday•17 months

The leftists are upset because the men they want to play in the women's volleyball league would look "ridickuless" in a bikini!!

pitchandcatch27•17 months

It is called FREEDOM, leave them the F alone. Go bitch somewhere else.

SOL2•17 months

I don't know what they see, but I see freedom. You can't have it both ways. These gals choose to dress this way.

CajunBullet•17 months

They "Got It" so they have the right to show it off! LOL

cajunmud•17 months

Well...that's the problem...too much freedom goin on round here.

CRDNLSCHMCPSN11•17 months

It's no different than what they always wear in competition.

chinhoyang•17 months

I have the feeling Ms. Sugier (the woman complaining) has never worn a bikini. Her picture: LINK

Where was the women's rights group comments or indignation on the French swimmer who the media and fans yawned over for having tight bottoms that exposed his junk

chinhoyang•17 months

"fans yawned over" - a great typo with 2-3 different meanings LOL

Vacherie Saint•17 months

so feminist groups are now wanting women to desexualize themselves? They are essentially slut shaming these athletes. When will they start demanding trans people cover up?

coolieaux•17 months

"When will they start demanding trans people cover up?"

Not freaking soon enough.
