Zipp S & Sutherland S (2021) Sexism and sport: why body-baring team uniforms are bad for girls and women. The Conversation. 05.08.2021.
Abstract
First paragraph: Team outfits and fashion were not supposed to be a big talking point at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. But protests over skimpy uniforms by two women’s teams in the months before the games have brought bikinis and high-cut leotards into the spotlight. Now these high-profile campaigns are leaving Olympians, fans and aspiring young athletes wondering: why are women expected to bare their bodies while men cover up?
