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.

I wouldn't call myself a runner, but yes (I agree, not you're the only one), holy shit

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 think he's talking about these kind of shorts:

[-] urshanabi@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 4 months ago

oh those are quite short

[-] highalectical@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 4 months ago

I also thought it was weird.

[-] Ossay@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago

definitely not the only one, there is a whole episode of community about those shorts

[-] AernaLingus@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago

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.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
