The *patriachy* in charge has determinly opted to show off the female figure in sport (whether for marketing reasons or otherwise) and this has been in evidence for decades (longer if you take into consideration historical moral attitudes and religious taboos) while women have had no other option but to *suck it up* (pardon the expression in this context if you will).

Surely, this has gone far enough. Isn’t it about time we let the players have a bloody say in everything to do with the sport kits they are required to play in? Who’s better placed to decide on the design and utlity of these uniforms but the athletes? FFS. When the ADF is considering new kit, it goes down to the users for trials and evaluation (I’ve been in some of these myself) because we demand the best from those users and it should be no different for sport kits.

Men are such mongrels (generalizing, of course :)
