Feeling comfortable in athletic clothes is something lots of women struggle with, whether it’s track cycling’s skinsuit, rowing’s unisuit, or even regular garden variety running clothes.

See No way am I wearing that! Body conscious clothing as a barrier to entry to women’s sports.

What women athletes don’t need are men like Rudy Giuliani making “unsettling” and “highly inappropriate” comments about their outfits.

That’s what he did to golfer Michelle Wie West who took to Twitter to fight back.

May be an image of 1 person and text that says 'THE LL Gist 유 GIST LรID 3H1 10 "" WHAT THIS PERSON SHOULD HAVE REMEMBERED FROM THAT DAY, WAS THE FACT THAT I SHOT 64 AND BEAT EVERY MALE GOLFER IN THE FIELD LEADING OUR TEAM TO VICTORY. INA CLASSY AND BADASS RESPONSE TO LEWD DISGUSTING FORMER MAYOR. YOR.'
