This is why joggers get...

[woohoo]

The point of the story is she was competing in a race and so she chose to wear short stuff because it made her feel more comfortable, however some decided it was an invitation to rape women.

I don't expect any person doing an event to wear their training gear plus regardless of what you wear as a woman (or even a man) if you train in the wrong area you get unwanted comments, gestures and honks.

It sounds like an idiot was trying to be funny. I don't know any of my mates that would say something as stupid, unless it was trying to be funny and then they would be told to stop being a dick.

Incidentally, I was out for our annual piss-up and one of the lads brought a mate. When the mate went to the loo, I was told he's gay so don't saying anything that my offend. I thought wow things have moved on even for a bunch of 40 year olds.

I just wear knackered old T-shirts that have seen better days and regular longish baggy shorts or tracksuit bottoms.

My observation in the gym is the people who go all out with expensive gear aren't the ones that stick around consistently either.

Lycra and muscle vests are things I will never wear in a gym - or anywhere else for that matter.

I'm all for women wearing as little as possible but what does annoy me is how running gear has become a fashion thing. Even the men are getting in on it and have all kinds of stripey colour coordinated outfits.

Nothing wrong with a 10 year old running t-shirt and lycra shorts that have seen better days.

Not worth getting annoyed. Save it for Brexit.

Moving on from Chris Hoy (who is nearer 15st) and the fact that guys over 8st shouldn't wear lycra to cycle in, apparently female runners should be careful of their workout gear as that's why "joggers get raped".

I guess this old video was right in this being the only right way to wear sports gear

I thought this particular issue was a thing of the past

Blaming physical assault because of the way people look is akin to blaming your obesity because Tesco sell fatty foods.

A woman who had just completed a half marathon was left in shock after she was told that her work out clothes were why ‘joggers get raped’.

“Running around in skin tight underwear is very tempting to any man. Take a hint and put some clothes on.”

It is not my responsibility to choose a race outfit or workout apparel to deter the temptation of men. The length of my shorts is not an indication of interest, invitation, or consent.
