It's interesting to skim down these comments and see that pretty much 100 percent of them say "because men make them."

I'm not saying that's not sometimes the case -- I'm sure it is. But literally not a single person has mentioned another obvious explanation:

**These are athletes. They have amazing bodies that they have put a ton of work into and are proud of, and they like showing them off.**

That may not resonate with the typical Redditor. I get that! But these women (and remember, these are grown women, with their own agency) are not typical Redditors, and they don't necessarily think of things the same way. 

I'm not even saying it's right or wrong -- I take no position on that. But it does seem like another obvious explanation, whether or not you or I approve of it.

I mean I think the reason why your opinion isn't commonly seen here is because there's been several instances where women are protesting to wear less revealing clothing. Women's volleyball and gymnastics are two that immediately come to mind. While I'm sure some women don't mind the clothing, the "athletic women just want to show their bodies off" isn't the obvious take you think it is when so many of these athletes are actively saying they do not want to show their bodies off.
