I do agree that women should not objectify themselves in anyway to be successful. However it should be noted that since LFB is considered an amateur sport and no money is paid to the competitors the women are playing out of their own choice. Let us consider this point further. They are (as claimed by Mitchell Mortaza) all university level athletes. This means they have degrees and are able to work a normal high paying job. This also means that these women choose to compete in this competition for their own personal reason and not because of money or other reasons. I have talked to some LFB players from the USA and they have explained to me that they do not play LFB for a living, they work regular jobs and compete in the game because they enjoy the level of competition and the exercise that they get. Upon questioning the costume, the women who I talked to did not feel a problem with the outfits and honestly do feel that it is no more revealing than swimming and vollyball uniforms. I found this quit intersting and was surprised at their awnsers. I would imagine that you need to be incredibly comfortable with your body or have a certain type of confidence/personality to make such a comment.

In regards to the comment "Men do not have to do such things", contrary to popular belief many studies in psychology and sociology have showed that on average men are actually more objectified than women and are actually more effected by such objectification more (This difference is in the fact that we notice women objectification more than male objectification. This is because men objectify women bluntly and women are very subtle in how they objectify men). The problem is that men have been raised or conditioned to not express these problems. This leads to an ever increasing feelings of inadequacy and inferiority. The obsession to go to the gym, to make a lot of money, etc. all things we think we need to do to find a mate or attract women. I do not agree with women or men objectification and feel that it is detrimental to society.

What truly needs to change in society is the negative connotation that we have toward human bodies and sexuality. Both are natural beautiful things that have been skewed in meaning because of tradition, religion, and a failure in society to correctly teach our children to be comfortable with their bodies and sexuality (Many parents are too uncomfortable to talk to their children about sexuality, note I am not talking about sex but sexuality).

In conclusion, the LFB players are educated with a degree, work high paid jobs, are physically in shape and healthy, are confident, and comfortable with their sexuality. They are the pinnacle of what women have hoped to achieve since we gained freedom and power. We need to not attach a negative connotation to these women but instead recognize them for their achievements.
