Dude works for the Australian National University and the Atlantic Council and can’t scrape up any better dirt than “textbook girl wear pants now 😭”

Am I the only runner here who was creeped out by how short the running shorts were in school? Like 13 year old me running track in school felt very violated.

Definitely not just you. I did men’s track/cross-country and the shorts were always so awkward to wear because they were basically sexy booty shorts.

i wore boy shorts (i am a boy just fyi or rather a man thing) and they were called basketball shorts and went past the knees. both boys and girl’s wore the same shorts because they were unisex so we never had that issue…

were there different kinds of clothing for each gendee in your school? we sorta had to buy ours from the school.

I ran cross country and personally I preferred the freedom of split shorts, but I can definitely see the other perspective. I also get hot really easily, so I was happy to shed any bit of fabric I could get away with.

Rule of law is when I make something up about the constitution to send you to prison.

Rule of law is when a panel of unelected Olds with several sex pests on it determines that it is legal for corporations to steal your brain to mine crypto and render your body into fuel for the nightmare reactor.

They could just point out they made the kids whiter? Would be a far more normal dunk than whatever the hell this is.

I think it’s either a result of the printing or the photography. All the colors look washed out on the new version. Compare the blue around the title and the new one is lighter. Same with the track and the boy’s clothes.

That’s true. You still definitely look more credible saying that it shows China’s Han supremacist attitude or whatever instead of complaining about the sexless depiction of middle schoolers.

Interesting that the reactionary is recuperating “gender self-expression” to describe girls wearing feminized clothes but not the normalized (in the 20th-21st century) crossdressing. Instead that’s described as communistic and sexless. Which is also interesting. What depths the Sinophobic reactionary brainpan has!

communistic and sexless.

Sinophobes malding about the Vocel police.

It’s interesting to compare with Westoid lib blob’s reaction to Japanese schools allowing girls to choose to wear pants, which is generally heralded as a progressive measure.

I think the reactionary is using sex in the other sense. Because they want to sex children. And since boys and girls are basically indistinguishable, this is done through hair and clothing. Call this socially-coerced sexing “gender expression” in order to court cultural feminists.
