Wasn't sure whether to put this under politics or chat, so plumped for "Other". DH and I have begun to put our names down to enter archery tournaments. DH asked our club leader whether there were any rules about dress that we needed to know, such as whether certain colours were preferred. Everyone who does archery knows not to wear anything too loose on the top half in case the bowstring gets caught – you don't want a bowstring that's travelling very fast and with a lot of poundage behind it to catch in your clothes.
Here are the answers: women cannot wear swimsuits (!!!) and men cannot wear sleeveless tops, but women can.
WHAT????
Why not just say no swimwear and no sleeveless tops?
I can feel a letter of complaint coming on. I know it's only trivial in actual fact, but it reflects an underlying discriminatory way of thinking, which is not trivial.
Do people have other examples of this kind of thing? It could be amusing as well as enlightening to make a collection.
maybe an unfortunate turn of phrase jeni? But thank you, it gave me a chuckle at the right moment!!!
