Men reclaim the leotard from fruity fruits
Posted on 26. May, 2010 by Simon in Pop Culture
It should be common knowledge now that our modern North American constructs of sexuality are like non-Euclidean parallel lines. Although being a man and being a gay-man are often conceived as being separate train tracks, (assuming a line segment intersects both of them, which in this case we will label as “the line segment called being a man”) when stretched into infinity, they will eventually intersect.
Practical observation has shown that as terrified as homophobes claim to be (see: most professional athletes) of homosexuality, the more hyper-masculine these individuals act, the more their behaviour actually falls in line with their blind assumptions about gay culture (see: mixed martial arts).
Naturally, fashion should be no different, and we have finally come to the infinite point of gender intersect with the Under Armour Recharge suit. Or, perhaps as most people might recognize it: A FUCKING LEOTARD.
For every jock who would call ballet gay, perhaps wearing this suit will help them realize that either:
A) Ballet is not just a fruity hobby and takes as much or more supreme athleticism as any major sport
or
B) Every locker room scene from “Any Given Sunday” was so totally, totally gay

I think this is supposed to be underwear, no?
Anyway, it looks like the model either isn’t wearing the leotard properly or he has no man-parts (I’m not ashamed of the fact that I actually looked there). I guess UA, being the hyper-masculine brand just ‘didn’t want to go there.’
From experience, I know that wearing your tight-ass gitch that low invariably leads to BSTL (ball-sticking-to-leg) syndrome, which is hella uncomfortable and over time may lead to some chafing and in extreme cases, some loss of blood.
He needs some support and separation.

It’s supposed to be worn post-workout to help your muscles rebuild after a workout. Or so they claim.

The story leading up to yesterday’s Rampage Jackson vs. Rashad Evans UFC fight was fun because the fighters hated each other so much. Jackson did have a lot more trash-talk ammo though because Evans typically wears tight little shorts. Haha sometimes I can’t believe this is my favourite sport. (But it is!)
