This is also a problem with me, not so much that not everyone can afford it, that's true for all sports, but the fact that it is basically a disposable swimsuit with a hefty price tag.
I'm having a tough time thinking of another sport where the top of the line generally available (at some point with the LZR) item has zero longevity.
Balking at price? That is quite a statement from someone who loves cycling! :)
About the male-female thing: it seems to me that the body suits are a more drastic change from male briefs compared to "conventional" female suits.
Of course, it may just be that men whine a lot more than women. (I am no exception.)
