ORIGINAL: Greta75 I don't think you are discussing this in the right section. What section would you recommend? I had trouble figuring out which was best. quote:
ORIGINAL: Greta75 When I worked as a waitress in my early 20's, my male manager wanted to ban me from wearing pants. He insist I need to dress more feminine and wear a skirt. I guess that's the simplest answer, which is that women are forced to dress sexily. I'm sure it didn't always used to be that way. For example, here's a 1970's Munich beer garden waitress, for example, in so-called "traditional" garb, and her boobs aren't showing: Yet, when I last went to Munich for Oktoberfest, I seem to remember vastly more revealing "traditional" garb by (most of) the waitresses. quote:
ORIGINAL: Greta75 I mean, even the stupid olympics are talking about making the mandated sports attire for women in some sports more sexy, to attract more male viewers. Again, I guess, since uniforms are mandated by the "team" in some fashion, I guess, again, that's the simplest answer, which is that (some of) the female athletes are forced to wear revealing uniforms. By way of contrast, I have noticed that, for some reason, (almost all of) the male athletes seem to be able to keep their abdomen, belly button, and upper butt cheeks out of view of the crowds, but the women can't seem to with the uniforms they're provided. It's not "performance" related, because, in general, the men outperform the women, especially in track and field, which I'm showing pictures of below. Here, for example, is how "Ivana Spanovic", Long Jumper from Serbia, dresses for the Olympics: Here's a shot of what another female track-and-field Olympian, Lori Jones, wore in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. By way of stark contrast, here's how (most of) the track and field men dressed for the 2012 Olympics: It always amazes me that (most of) the men can jump and run (higher and faster than the women do) and, yet, the men, still (somehow) manage to keep their belly buttons and butt cheeks out of view of every man, woman, and child in the audience. If the answer is that (some) women are forced to wear skimpy clothes in public, well, then, that solves the conundrum.
