For years, decades even, I was inundated with the many "wrongs" done to women, how awful it was to be a woman and not have the opportunity that men had, etc. In my particular case, I was even friendly with some women who were at the very top at MS magazine.

Remember that? Remember the National Organization For Women? Gloria Steinem, Bella Abzug, etc....all the feminist heroes of yesteryear...While, I'm sure, they were making points that were needed to be made, the "movement" seemed a little contrived to me. Wasn't it just a few years ago, the brigade of Pink Pussy Hats set out to right the many wrongs women were forced to endure?
Well, just last night I was watching some of the Olympic trials for swimming and track and field and so forth. I just like sports...you know...higher, faster strongser, etc...the best athlete wins,and so forth. Fair competition...that sort of thing.... I was imagining the 100 meter time trials and how they might alter the US Olympic Team with some 6 foot, 210lb dude who claims to identify as a woman destroying the field as well as the marvelous accomplishments of these women who have devoted their lives to fulfill an athletic passion...to make an olympic team, to wear a US Olympic uniform.
Where are those feminists now? Where are the wearers of pink pussy hats when we need them ? They haven't destroyed the Olympic competion just yet. Will they?
As is so often the case with liberal idiology, the politics of it all is just way more important than what is purported to be true. Trans athletes running, swimming, etc against women? Really? Why not heavyweight boxing, as well?
