The article is satire but damn if it isn’t hard to tell if it’s real or not sometimes.

I'm the opposite... I kind of have a thing for tough women in armor or "practical" clothes. Does that make me even weirder?
See GOTG game Gamora:
VS her little strips of leather and long hair in the movie. Like, is she supposed to fight in that?:
Though even game Gamora is a little too skin-tight boob/butt armor, kinda like Mass Effect armor.
I think some of my favorite "female warrior" getups are in LoK, like Korra's athletic, baggy-pants tribal getup or Asami's huge pockets for tools and weapons. But especially the Beifongs:
Bonus points for Su's makeshift armor, literally just a cabinet door she slapped on in battle:
Your example of a practical armor has boobs.
Yeah I know, not the best, but just an example of a MASSIVE improvement.
I'm suddenly realizing that metal benders could have levitated/flown like Magneto if they had thought of it.
I dunno. Lots of details suggests bending, especially earthbending, follows Newton's Third Law of Motion to some extent. Like when toph and aang use an earth slab as an elevator, they are "grabbing" onto the earth wall, or when zuko's bending failure blows him back. There's a lot of it in Bitter Work in particular.
Even Zaheer ostensibly obeyed physics by just blowing air around him.
What I'm saying is that bending a metal suit doesn't let you fly without something else to push against... but maybe a good sandbender could take flight in a sandstorm?
I would also like to add to the list Rellana from Elden Ring DLC in full plate armor:
