we women usually prefer shorts, just for the exposure aspect. some women definitely prefer to compete in the tiniest briefs for best range of motion, but that is not the norm. I remember when women's pole vault was introduced and the briefs were crazy small for those athletes. just like women's beach volleyball... all about ratings on tv for men with big eyes. gross.
why do women wear tiny briefs but no speedos for men? feel free to contemplate that.
women wearing yoga pants to walmart is not women wearing tiny briefs. big difference. and how many of those 14 butt cheeks you saw were men's?
Interesting inquiry. You posed a question but didn't answer it yourself, and I assume your answer was implied in the sense of patriarchy's force upon women. And while I DO agree that patriarchy is horrible and ongoing, I also see that what one chooses to wear can push back against patriarchy's influence. Women push back all the time through marches and movements, which, again, agree with; just as blacks and Hispanics have done in the past (and continue to do). So, why do women wear tiny briefs but no speedos for men? (and let's just ignore the fact that men do wear speedos in many other sports and that their short-shorts in track and field are just as revealing as said tiny briefs).
