The beautiful leotards gymnasts wear may soon be no more.

Some say that these are the reasons for the recent sexual harassment incidents.

A pervert undresses a woman with their mind, and it doesn't matter what they wear. Men of intelligence, morals, and good character appreciate a womans strength, beauty, and intelligence and it doesn't matter what they wear because such men have the fortitude and self control to appreciate these women for their amazing talents and not assault them or even think of such wrongful acts against them.
The people who would harm need to be dealt with and all our people need to be protected and respected, allowed to be who they are and not hidden away for their own good. No one should have to hide their body, live in the shadows, or stay hidden away, to control the lustiness of weak men or anyone else!

Stupid video title. They're saying that they shouldn't be harassed regardless of what they wear. Not that they'd stop wearing them because of harassment. They'd just be giving more power to the predators by doing that.

The problem is the judging. We need to make sure that, in subjectively-judged sports (gymnastics, diving, figure skating), judges are trained to NOT downgrade female athletes for wearing more conservative attire in competition. Until the athletes are SURE that judges will not punish them for their clothing choices, there will be a reluctance to change from the status quo, even if the change is within the rules.

i feel like you can wear anything as long as it is similar material to leotards and keeps them barefoot, other than that, GO BODYSUITS!

So what about a swimsuit on the beech? Should those be banned?

I think butts should be covered. We need to protect ourselves from the perverts as much as we can by not advertising our bodies half naked.
