During the video Hensley announces a new ban on wearing athletic shorts at the school and makes it a point to say boys at the school will be unhappy about the ban, but if they want to blame someone they should blame their female classmates.
Also in the video Hensley is quoted as saying, "It'll be like that the rest of your life, keep your mouth shut, suck it up and follow the rules."

Sounds about right.
I just can't any more. I have reached a point where I am torn between throwing things (with ENTHUSIASM!) and throwing up. I am at a convention and I swear to DOG, I'm teetering on the edge. All it's going to take is one dumb man in an elevator to push me into a wholly unprofessional rage. Ugh. I've been camping in my room in between sessions because I just can't risk it.

First of all, the article isn’t clear, but if the reason they can’t wear athletic shorts is because they’re too revealing, blame the BOYS because they’re the ones who seemingly can’t control themselves. Also, blame the patriarchy because I don’t understand why girls’ athletic shorts have to be cut so damn high. Do we have to sexualize women doing everything?
I don't really have anything to add other than a lot of angry screeching, but this is local to me and... anyway, angry incoherent screeching.
I will say I've been glad there's been such an outcry against this idiot, but of course there's plenty of "He was just kidding! This is his sense of humor!" Cool, super glad I don't go to your school.

And finally, fuck this guy.
I hate this so much. I look at sports like tennis or beach volleyball and it's like, why are the women's uniforms little skirts and bras? Not to mention I can't find a decent pair of running shorts that aren't all up in my business... so I shop in the boys' section. People designing this stuff clearly don't have chub rub in mind. ARRGH! At least knee-length tights are a thing now.

And it is across the board. I can't find fucking capris to workout in that aren't skintight. I prefer more modest options, and they literally are not available.

I'm still holding on to my track bottoms that are loose in the bum and leg as they don't make anything like this that fits the female body any longer. It's all tight, tight and more tight. I wear leggings for athletic reasons a lot (play field hockey goalie and run) but sometimes I just want loose track pants and no one sells them any longer.

I love these, I got them from Dicks in black - they are so comfortable and aren't tight at all.https://www.caliastudio.com/p/calia-by-carrie-underwood-womens-limited-edition-lumia-scuba-wide-ankle-cropped-pants-18ca2wscbclttxxxxapb/18ca2wscbclttxxxxapb
