Dude works for the Australian National University and the Atlantic Council and can't scrape up any better dirt than "textbook girl wear pants now 😭"

    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.

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

      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.
