This reminds me exactly of that recent women's rugby team doing a naked calendar for fundraising and the whole "it's their choice" vs slut shaming commentary that went on. Come on world, show me where the All Blacks have had to get their cocks out to make sure they had enough money to put their uniforms on their back or travel to a local game, then tell me things aren't equal or objectified. Note: I know the AB's bodies are used in advertising, but it is to sell other products, not themselves, and also they don't get slut shamed for it. You don't hear anyone telling the ABs to put their chests back in their shirts for the Rexona ad now, do you. I loathe this whole "yes, I'm a female athlete, but also sexy as you can see by my Maxim photoshoot!

While the sporting world is typically dominated by male athletes, there have been many female athletes throughout history that have proved that playing sports does not mean that you have to be manly, or that the sporting industry stops female athletes from acknowledging their feminine side outside of their profession. Over the years, Playboy has made it easy for female athletes to show off their less aggressive side, by taking women from around the globe from their sports and given them a laid-back, fun and sexy shoot to embrace the wondrous image that is the female body. Female athletes have become endless stories of unique role models and fascinating obsessions, all of which are mainly based around their diversity; how they can be tough, strong and athletic, yet sustain a soft, feminine and beautiful side to them.

However, as the deluge of sexist coverage of women's events attests to, near-equal representation in numbers has not resulted in even near-equal quality of representation for male and female athletes. When a recent study by Cambridge University Press found that language around women in sport focuses disproportionately on their appearance, clothes and personal lives, I wasn't surprised. The sexualisation of female athletes and their bodies within the male-dominated institution of sports media is just one way in which gender inequality persists despite women's increasing participation in sports. But feminism has fought back, and it has been encouraging to hear powerful, articulate, feminist voices both female and male denounce uninvited sexualisation like when Fox News called a man-council to discuss athletes' make-up wearing habits and call out sexist commentary like how triple world record holder, gold medallist m freestyle swimmer Katie Ledecky has been referred to as " the female Michael Phelps ", and fellow Olympians Ryan Lochte and Connor Jaeger have been quoted saying "This girl is doing respectable times for guys" and "Her stroke is like a man's stroke. I mean that in a positive way.
