Get in the ring, LOSERS!
A rant about men in female sport
Anyone remember Animalympics?
The 1980 animated film in which an assortment of animals competed for Olympic titles?
That’s right.
BEASTS.
Well the 2024 Olympic Games looks to have revived that tradition.
First we had Dutch child rapist Steven Van Der Velde competing in a volleyball event.
Classy start, Paris.
Today, we had a man breaking a woman’s nose.
But before you spit out your almond croissant, it’s alright everyone, because it was the ‘right’ type of man. The kind that gets ‘female’ written in his passport.
So, it doesn’t matter, does it?
Context, eh?
The tales we tell ourselves to make bad things okay.
Just like when female genital mutilation happens to poor African kiddies, it’s an outrage.
Whereas in the ‘progressive west’ on the other hand, it’s an aspiration to be met with calls for ‘affirming care’
Guys, did you not get the memo?
It’s all about the PR!
In 2024 we enable men to hit women, promote it, cheer it on.
The modern way!
Imane Khelif smashing Angela Carini‘s face in, making her abandon the match and fear for her life was consensual.
No coercion involved whatsoever!
Just like porn is always consensual.
Those women always want to do it.
They enjoy it. It’s ‘sex work’
Just like any other job.
So, it’s all cool, right?
LIKE FUCK IT IS!
Misogyny has never been so rife.
And the thing propping it up is the new gift wrap of ‘kindness’.
Not wanting to offend anyone.
No. More.
Want to know the bargaining chip used to buy their precious ‘inclusivity’?
The price?
It’s your well earned rights as a woman.
You stand up against this nonsense NOW or go look your daughters in the eye and tell them tell their Olympic ambitions are put on hold because some people think that stroking male ego is more important.
And while you’re at it, why not tell your sons that if they’re shit at sport, not to worry, there’s another way they can hold on to their dream.
A bonus ball for having bonus balls.
Thankfully, some women have been standing up. Brave women like Kellie Harrington who said she would never compete with a biological male.
And we all must.
For the sake of fairness.
Women!
Stop being so damn ‘nice’ will you?
These guys don’t want to play nice.
They want to take your titles.
Steal the dreams of your kids.
And some, as proved today, might even want to break your nose.
No, I’m not going to use terms like ‘trans woman’.
Why?
Because every time we do, validate it.
We affirm mental illness and misogyny and I’m done with that.
It was a MAN.
I couldn’t give a monkeys what readings on hormone tests said.
Tests.
Well…….we all know how bloody reliable tests can be, don’t we?
There is only one test need apply.
The acid test.
If he was born with a penis, it’s a man.
And if a person is intersex, they are not a woman.
They should not be competing with women.
End of.
Animalympics is long gone.
It’s time to lose the cheaters.
Bravo! Well said. I can't imagine how hard the decision to get in the ring was for the "actual" female fighter....working tirelessly to get a chance to go to the olympics to then be faced with the choice to step out because the other person isn't the same gender or step in knowing the game is definitely not rigged in your favor. It's horrible all the way around. Cruelty is the new normal. I guess men can now hit women as a pinnacle of achievement.
A few are speaking up. One of the Irish female boxers has said she’ll refuse to fight a bloke. I think she’s the title holder. Sharron D is speaking out which surprised me as she’s commentating for the bbc in the swim pool so could have kept her head down. She’s got Barry McGuigan on board too. The consensus is athletes should withdraw all together in protest against the IOC decision. If they don’t it will just continue. I know that many of these ladies have intimidating, obsessive male coaches who push for glory come what may. The whole Olympic thing has been a debacle, maybe it was meant to be who knows these days. Where are all the women who think they’re blokes trying to get into male sports I wonder? 🤔
