You might be correct about that based on the way the volleyball team is dressed. Are they wearing skirts with pants underneath??View attachment 8763

Its tights under the skirts . I've never done that I still have nightmares with jean skirt and tennis shoes with socks.

I know some who tried. The ski people in charge told her and her husband that it was too dangerous.

arguments like this permeated the fff when i first joined the forum in 2004....

i was told first ... (and by many different people)...that women had no business surfing because it was "unladylike"..... then was told that if i just had to surf, they saw no reason i could not do it wearing coulottes... ... (what i called kluglottes)..... ...this suggestion of course came from non-surfers who had never been further out in the ocean past knee deep.... much less tossed around in heavy pacific waves breaking over their heads...... ....... .same people said they saw no reason i could not wear coulottes to go bow hunting for wild hogs in a tropical jungle full of razor grass hidden ravines and sharp volcanic rocks....

prior to that - when my dad first joined the forum - he had gotten raked over for working on sundays (as a firefighter paramedic)...and for working with female partners who wore pants on the job........ all of it comes from the same mindset that teaches fundamentalist men..both christian and muslim.. they should have the dominion over all women everywhere no matter where they live - or who they are... and if not that then at least be able to dictate what they do and how they do it.... .. ....i;m glad some of those old attitudes and assumptions are dying out... ....
