Calling me a misogynist I call you a [Unwelcome language removed] idiot. Are we square?

You seem angry. I suppose getting called out for excusing sexual abuse and trying to blame the victims will do that to a fella. Learn from it. Woman are not asking to be assaulted by looking good. There is no fault in looking good. The fault lies wholly with the perpetrator. Always.

I thought you'd have the capacity to speak beyond the simple and erroneous interpretation you took of the intent of the thread.

The internet is killing the lie and the absurd Feminist movement too will die.

The volley ball pics alone make your point. Why Roberta went off on that particular tangent is a mystery?

By the way,,,,the effin idiot remark was appropriate given the uncalled for insults in hos last upchuck....which is mysterious in and of itself.

Unless maybe there was some trauma in the past......??

No you're not. You're trying to blame women for men's lack of control. Just like the Taliban.

Translation: I have no clue what this thread is about.

I'm not sure how much power the womens volleyball team members have over the Olympic uniform selection.

I think the uniforms are selected on perceived ability to attract tv audiences. Perhaps the women are okay with them if they're trying to cultivate a modeling career out of their olylmpic appearance?

Men's beach volley ball.

Women's beach volley ball.

Spot the difference? Who's is objectifying who? Often women are objectifying themselves. They want to be equal to men they can dress like them.

I think that women athletes understand that looks can be a part of getting male attention to their sport (and since a large majority of sports fans are male, that can be necessary to get the money needed for big-time competitiveness). So, in that sense, they're objectifying themselves. If women's volleyball players insisted on wearing baggy shirts and shorts, they could. But I get why they do it.

Fair points. My guess, though, is that if someone like Jerri Walsh Jennings were to tell those organizing the uniforms that she wanted something that looked like what the men have, they'd do it. They wouldn't want the negative publicity of essentially telling a female athlete to go out half naked or leave the team.
