[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are women so ashamed of their bodies or threatened by those that aren’t?  [/quote]

NP- we're not. We would say the same thing if dad showed up shirtless in his 3 in speedo running shorts. [/quote]

OMG! Yes.  If a dad were standing shirtless on the sidelines in package shorts, people would be "WTH is Magic Mike here?"[/quote]

There are a few men in their 40s or 50s who jog like that through our neighborhood. At least they aren’t at a kid’s soccer game but we still comment about them.  I always ask my kids how they would feel if I started jogging around in a bikini. [/quote]

Life is short and no point if you spend your morning routine ruminating about what you neighbor behind their curtains will say about you to themselves.  If you want to go out and run in a sports bra and short shorts, be my guest.  Plenty of people will get a second-look, you may even inspire other people to jog; not one person will give your attire more than a few moments of their time before they go back to thinking about their own lives.[/quote]

A women jogging in a sports bra is pretty common. If they are very fit, no one gives it a second thought. If they are fat or if they have large breasts spilling out then they get a second look and get laughed at or oogled. Same with a shirtless man with short running shorts. If they look like a serious runner no one cares. But if they are fat or super hairy they get shamed. It’s not about the attire, it all about body conformity or body shaming. It’s about societal pressure and norms. [/quote]

I'm thinking that OP is saying this person is fit and still inappropriate.  I still agree because of the venue.  A 16 year old boys soccer game?  WTF?  Running in a park or on the street? Fine.[/quote]

+3.  I think if you're exercising and then wear these items, no big deal but if you're wearing these items and also wearing a lot of jewelry, it does seem inappropriate.  It almost seems like she's trying too hard and wants attention.  I wouldn't say anything but it would be something that goes through my mind.  As someone else mentioned, if a dad came to U16 girls' game without a shirt on and speedo type shorts, I would have same type of thoughts.  Not sure why this is controversial and to be clear, the mom definitely has the right to wear whatever she wants, That's not in dispute either.  [/quote]
