Why Are Female Athletes Who Fought for Equal Opportunity for Women Now UNDERMINING This Fight?

Professional soccer player Megan Rapinoe and WNBA player Brittney Griner are two women who’ve benefited greatly from competing against women only. They’d be losers had they competed against men pretending to be women.

Yet, these women support men soundly defeating other female athletes. Are they being disingenuous, hypocritical, or both?

Riley Gaines appeared on Fox News to discuss this. Outspoken advocate of fairness for women in sports, Gaines swam for the University of Kentucky. She competed against the man calling himself Lia Thomas during the NCAA championship, the same man the association nominated for “woman” of the year. Gaines tied for 5th place with Thomas after he threw the 200-yard freestyle race. He won the NCAA championship after easily beating the women in the 500-yard freestyle race.

Laurence B. Jones talked about the boy on a high school volleyball team who injured a girl when he spiked her in the face. Rapinoe and Griner support this. Jones said that Griner didn’t like being called a man because of her deep voice. But now she thinks men should compete in women’s sports.

Why do these female athletes support suppressing equal opportunities and fairness for women? Gaines said that Billie Jean King supports this trend, even though we credit her with the passing of Title IX.

“All of these women who once fought for women’s rights, equal opportunity, equal access, equal resources, equal pay, they’re now undermining their fight,” she said.

Women need others to join this fight, even male athletes. Watch the brief clip below for more.
