[BattleshipTexas]

I am okay with them.

 

[winloseortie]

So You would be OK with your wife or daughter competing in that outfit?

 

[Kitchenlabs]

If your butt is hanging out, they are inappropriate.

 

[king ward]

If your butt is hanging out, they are inappropriate.

I would agree. Perhaps this angle fails to convey the source of the complaint.

 

[Silver_Coconut]

Swimmers wear less.

 

[Kitchenlabs]

Swimmers wear less.

Then the rule should apply to them also.

 

[duckcock2.0.0]

Prudes

You watching a lot of Paralympics?

 

[Kitchenlabs]

You watching a lot of Paralympics?

I don't watch any Olympics.

 

[Silver_Coconut]

I don't watch any Olympics.

Then why do you care?

 

[Kitchenlabs]

Then why do you care?

It's called common decency something that we need a lot more of now. Maybe you don't know anything about that.

At the other end of the spectrum:

Handball team forced to wear bikini bottoms instead of boy shorts

In what one Norwegian commentator called a “panties crisis,” the Norwegian women’s beach handball team’s rebellion against what they say is uncomfortable and degrading attire, has been put to an end.

Yes I would. My oldest is in high school and competes in less in gymnastics and swimming. I see no problem with it.

How pleasant you are. Nice talking to you.

Don’t take your family to the beach then. Damn the Karen’s is this place.

 

[chief2791]

I've always thought it was ironic and funny that if you caught a glimpse of most woman in their underwear unexpectedly, they'd be mortified. Then they'll go out to the beach in a swimsuit that shows even more than underwear.

 

[winloseortie]

Yes I would. My oldest is in high school and competes in less in gymnastics and swimming. I see no problem with it.

Maybe I’m too curious so forgive me..... have you had a conversation with her and how does she feel about the uniforms?

 

[GarnetBeamer]

I guess I would need to see the uniforms of her fellow athletes who were there competing before making a judgment.

It’s 100% context.

 

[polo-loco]

That hussy! Why won't she think of the children?

Exactly.

It could be much, much worse. It could be 80s bad.

In the original Olympics, the competitors were nude.

 

[king ward]

In the original Olympics, the competitors were nude.

Most things that were around in 776 BC but still exist in some form today have moved on. It's hard to move on to a greater level of scantiness than naked. Hence, things moved in the other direction for a long time.

 

[GarnetBeamer]

In the original Olympics, the competitors were nude.

Well, in ancient Greece, every major city had a gymnasium where exercising/competing/athletics was done, by males only, in the nude. Hence the name "gymna"sium.

 

[Kitchenlabs]

Don’t take your family to the beach then. Damn the Karen’s is this place.

Oh please..🙄

 

[Kitchenlabs]

In the original Olympics, the competitors were nude.

There were only men present also.

 

[Boom4life]

Maybe I’m too curious so forgive me..... have you had a conversation with her and how does she feel about the uniforms?

Yes I have and she is fine with them, so is my wife. I really don’t see the big deal. Everyone at both meets are dressed the same. They are team uniforms as well. It’s funny this comes up here in America sex is taboo as well as being scantly clothed. Here in America teen pregnancies are higher than most and we have problems with sex addiction. Flip the page to other counties that have nude beaches that children go to and sex is much more open and talked about. Guess what they don’t have near the problems we do. I have always been open with my children about sex and so has my wife. I’m not naive I know my 16 year old daughter will get curious and sooner than later will probably go down that road. I have tried to raise kids that are willing to call me even if it is to come get them from a party drunk on Friday night. They understand that, that is not to be misused or misunderstood for permission. I have full confidence that she will talk to my wife when things start heading that direction.

 

[BattleshipTexas]

There were only men present also.

And only Greeks, no other countries.

 

[TopHook]

Y'all do know they used to compete nude right?

Thanks for taking your time to answer!

If you've got it, flaunt it.

Because it's not about how much you can see, it's the consent behind it. Women usually want to be seen in things like swimsuits when they go to the beach. They don't want to be caught in their underwear, especially considering when you're down to just those you're typically in a more vulnerable state.

 

[Bubbaglide]

Not a large difference between a thong bikini and thong underwear

I saw a young woman walking around Yosemite National Park last week wearing a thong. Let's just say it was very strange.

I certainly understand and respect this point of view.

I really don't care if someone sees me in my boxers, and I sure wouldn't freak out if someone caught me in them, I would think it's hilarious, but I wouldn't voluntarily hit the beach in them.

 

[Jon Snow]

How pleasant you are. Nice talking to you.

That’s par on her course. If she doesn’t have a lot of content to back up an opinion, the personal insults she assumes about you are quick to fly.

 

[GarnetBeamer]

Unless I see what her fellow-competitors were wearing, I can't make a conclusion.

This. It isn't what's revealed, but the choice to do so. Thank you.
