Female athletes as sex objects

[scooterbug44]

As long as it's not my daughter, I won't stop a woman from taking her clothes off in front of the camera if that's what she wants to do. Just don't tell me it is to display self-confidence or setting a good example for younger girls. If it wasn't about sex, they wouldn't show the areola. Nothing is athletic about a whatever is left of ones short and curlies.

I don't get it. Is this some kind of joke? I've never seen an article, just pictures. :funn:

I say, if you've got the body, feel free to run naked.

Does her decision to pose nude or partially clothed hurt female athletes who want to be known for their athleticism instead of their looks?

I thought that most female atheletes play partially clothed, so why not pose for a picture? Ever watched beach volleyball? Those girls are in shape! ...and if you think those girls are not known for their athleticism, you've got a problem.

I guess you haven't seen Martina Navratilova.

Better yet, Dr. Rene Richards

As for the original topic, there's a fine line for me. There have been very lovely and tasteful photographs of women athletes in the SI swimsuit issue. FHM and Playboy though? tacky. If her expression says "do me," well, that's where the line has been crossed. I lost a little respect for Danica Patrick when she went all racy in FHM. :roll:
