    When conservatives said they cared about women’s sports, this is what they meant. They want to accost more butch women about not being “women enough”, and generally make women’s lives miserable.

    I hope Trump gets some punishment here, though I’m not foolish enough to seriously believe that. He’s been trying this shit since the Central Park 5 in the 80s, and I’m so tired of him needing to involve himself in every hot-button / cultural / racial issue.

      It’s a consistent pattern. Whatever position that will oppress any particular woman, that’s what they take.

      Conservatives think of women’s sports as a pillow fight at a sleepover. Any real athletics is too masculine for them.
