That US track and field female athlete uniform has got me really emotional. Is there nothing we can have for ourselves that porn addicts won’t ruin by demanding we have our vulvas hanging out for their amusement?
Can you imagine the HUMILIATION of having to run or jump in that? Knowing you’ll be the one making headlines if it all falls out. Knowing you cannot compete for your country if you don’t get a Brazilian.
@francesweetman Our Olympic kit 'All-in-ones' in '92 had a very handy triangle pointing down to our 'nether regions'. Interestingly enough the men's equivalent kit just had blue shorts.......
@francesweetman Why women have to compete in high cut knickers, it's insane, I don't get it at all.
@francesweetman They have many choices

@francesweetman There are multiple uniform tops and bottoms for the female & male athletes to choose from, the athletes are choosing the one they want to wear.
@francesweetman Perhaps the uniform options would trend toward more sensible if they opted NOT to get Brazilians.
@francesweetman It’s infuriating, especially amongst the debate of ‘what is a woman’. Nike seems to know which ones are women, the ones that have to be half naked in their sports!
@francesweetman Nobody "has" to. There is a range of uniforms available to both women and men (at least 20 for women, according to one female US athlete) Anyone who wears the uniform in the photo is doing so by choice. Although it is concerning that Nike chose this particular one for the launch.
@francesweetman More than half the people moaning about it haven’t been anywhere near the track or the field…
@francesweetman Hopefully national athletic associations will tell the Olympic Committee where to stick it. It’s so bloody awful.
