Women boxers need to look "elegant", they need to wear skirts!

Just when you thought the days of "A League of her Own" were over... ::)
Women will get a chance to box in the Olympics for the first time in 2012. If the Amateur International Boxing Association has anything to say about it, they will be wearing skirts.

To make them "easier distinguishable from men"? Seriously? How about boobs? Respectively bras/tops women wear at boxing?
Oh my, there I was, thinking those days were over. ::)

It is probably more about male fantasy. If they box in short skirts, it will look more
disgusting by far than shorts. It would be a lot of mens fantasy in the olympics.
Disgusting in the year 2011, you would think we had gone past that stupidity!

I love it!! Katie Taylor want's to be "just like the men."
I also appreciate that the article points out that other female athletes wear some sort of skirt.

Jeeeze how sad. Here I thought there were more to women than to be objects to be enjoyed by men ::). >:(
