▲ 69 ▼ Why do women in golf wear those short/skirt things while the men wear pants? (lemmy.world) submitted 3 days ago by Patnou@lemmy.world to c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world 101 comments fedilink hide all child comments
[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.cafe 13 points 3 days ago (1 child) I don’t understand this infantilizing of women. At least half the women at the gym and yoga studio are in sports bras. Should I tell them they are victims of male gaze and the tyranny of sponsorships, and they would be happier if they covered up more? Or are they adults who can dress themselves? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] dustyData@lemmy.world -7 points 3 days ago* (1 child) No, why would you do that? It is extremely rude to comment on a person's body unprompted. They get to choose whatever they want to wear. That doesn't erase the reality of social pressures or its relevance when discussing genre politics. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.cafe 9 points 3 days ago (1 child) You’re missing the point. They’re adults. Treat them as such. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] dustyData@lemmy.world -2 points 2 days ago (1 child) Yes, they are adults. Stop talking about them like they don't exist, or like they are a single homogeneous lump of objects. It is entirely possible to discuss sociological concepts and political issues without insulting or infantilizing the people who are involved. Screaming “infantilizing” like a parrot is not an argument. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.cafe 3 points 2 days ago Are you okay? permalink fedilink source parent
