I've certainly heard more men complaining. And, if so, should Rob be flaming the dying embers of only the male addiction? Just askin'. :D
You bit your tongue? Hmmm ... And here I thought you'd been calling them "cheatin'" suits for ages ... You've always been focally anti-suit with the very appropriate caveat that you would vote for what your LMSC favors.
I think the new rules change things more drastically for men than women. And then there is the whole shaving thing.
Plus men just like to whine more than women.
The "cheatin" suit thing (borrowed from J Smith) is mostly to try to get a rise; it clearly isn't cheating if it is legal. I've never liked the suits but didn't argue against USMS using them until last July, when FINA came out with their first ruling.
If this looks like it will come up, I will probably do my own poll of the LMSC to see what people think. Popularity isn't everything, though; I don't know that it is in the best interest of my LMSC to possibly marginalize LCM and SCM further. Also, if the one faction is in the majority but doesn't feel too strongly about it, while the other is violently pro/anti, then that should probably merit consideration. And the opinions of "newbies" might also be especially worth noting. Designing a poll that captures all that will take some thought.
