Cap’t post #44 was well said, but
#31 was wonderfully said, so I’m plugging it in again.
Oh my God! Women competing in skimpy outfits! Uncle Peter, my smelling salts! What the hell are you prattling about Man? Your post is perfect example of the objectification of females. Get your head out of your Victorian butt for heaven's sakes! It's the 21st Century and ankles may now be seen. Sexual nature is base? Primal? Primitive? You just ripped a page out of The Ladies Book of Etiquette and politeness (published in 1860). No comparison to art? Damn those pornographic Athenians and their statues, not to mention that horn dog Michelangelo from the Renaissance. And I'll just bet Botticelli's "The Birth of Venus" really makes you puke! The word prude comes to mind here. So, what context? There's uniforms for volleyball, beach bikinis, running, soccer you name it. Each is different and designed for each sport. If you object then avert your eyes in order to prevent carnal thoughts. Once again, your analogy of MLK is totally misplaced. You're aiming your invective at what you deem as skimpy female attire and then liking it to lampooning a Civil Rights leader. A non sequitur sir! Your analogy has absolutely nothing to do with the attire of female athletes, or male ones for that matter. And it's ok now to respect an athlete no matter how their dressed. Cap't Jack
