women's sports is one of the loudest and most successful anti-patriarchy campaigns in human history. what women's sports did and does is prove, over and over again, the excellence, the raw power and strength of the human woman. it completely disrupts ideas on gender.
you have big, powerful women in rugby. fast, endurable women runners. impeccably strong gymnasts. women with strong, large bodies that take up space. that are HEALTHY. they are not RESTRICTED or ladylike. they are free of the stillness/deadness that femininity demands. no corsets. no (aesthetic) thinness. no hourglass bodies for gawking. women's sports screams to society "we are fully human, not objects, not small men. we are not domestic dolls. we are hunters and foragers. fighters."
why do you think men are so vitriolic about it? why don't they want women in football? why don't they want it televized? why do they keep harassing female basketball players? why do they insist on dressing women in sexualized uniforms? why do they now make it taboo to exculde men from women's sports?
i firmly believe it's because women's sports tears patriarchal gender ideology apart so effortlessly. it completely spits in the face of patriarchal political propaganda and shows how null it is. it forces all of us to view women as full, as the beginning of human excellence, as central to human history. not as decorative sexual objects, no matter how men want us to be.
that's why there's so much aggression and derision when it comes to women's sports from men. because women's sports destroys the idea of femininity and depicts women as non-derivative. women must be monsters and cannot afford to play into the childlikeness that femininity demands. the arena of sports forces us to focus on women's physical performance rather than appearance. their strength rather than how attractive they are. their skill and strategy. their humanity. it is a form of entertainment where all female roles are agentive and active rather than passive.
women's sports events are also hotbeds for female and lgb solidarity like you have no idea!
y'all need to start watching women's sports. not only because it is exciting, but it deprograms the patriarchal bullshit out of you so fast. you realize how much is possible. how much we can all achieve right now.
#women's sports#radblr#feminism#olympics are coming up#women athletes are so so cool#like i watch them and im like i can't imagine how much strength it took to pull that off#sometimes my dad watches WNBA highlights with me#im not yet a dedicated watcher of sports but im fixing that this year#anti-gender#anti gender#women's sports makes men so angry because women are strong and smart and beautiful without any femininity bullshit

USA women shock Jamaica to win 4×100 relay; U.S. men wade to world championships again
EUGENE, Oregon. — For the United States women’s relay team, it was a shock.
For men – more of the same.
The women pulled off a stunner over Jamaica in the 4×100 relay at the world championships on Saturday, while the favored men finished second after a botched baton exchange in what has been a ritual since before anyone was born on this team.
Andre DeGrasse beat Marvin Bracy to the line by 0.07…

"Fencing offers a ray of hope to young people living in Nairobi's poorest neighbourhoods.
Despite a lack of equipment, the sword fighting sport is growing in popularity in Kenya.
They cut a striking group as they wander through Huruma in their pristine white outfits.
These young people are heading for their favourite hang-out spot: the Tsavora Fencing club at the local community centre.
The street becomes their arena as they parry and riposte in front of passers-by.
This is not just a hobby for them: it's a force for good in their lives.
Fencing has helped carve a path away from crime, drugs and other social pressures.
"I used to be a gangster," says Mburu Wanyoike, who is now a coach for Kenya's National Fencing team.
"I was in crime and crime makes you feel isolated. It actually puts you in a place where you are isolated, making you feel depressed, having stress and I chose fencing as a way for me to escape out of the hood and escape that lifestyle."
His journey from delinquency to fencing coach and senior athlete in Kenya's national team has been transformative.
Inspired by the personal tragedy of the death of two friends, Wanyoike pursued training and education in South Africa, ultimately founding Tsavora Fencing in 2021.
Tsavora Fencing has made significant strides.
The team has produced 15 talented fencers who have earned spots in the national squad, with plans to represent Kenya in the African Olympic Qualifiers in Algeria this year.
However, challenges persist, particularly regarding the affordability of fencing equipment.
"Sometimes it is tough when it comes to competing with well-equipped international countries that are well organized, so what we do is just to move on with enthusiasm and obsession. The fact that we don't have the equipment, the limited ones we have, we use them. We don't complain that we do not have equipment, we just use what we got and put in the obsession and the enthusiasm and the passion combined, that's what we do, we fence," says Wanyoike.
Tsavora Fencing Mtaani, an initiative under Tsavora Fencing, offers mentorship and training in fencing to the youth of these impoverished neighbourhoods, shielding them from the dangers of their environment.
With 45 members, most of whom are students, the team serves as a beacon of hope in the community.
Participants are required to become disciplined and put on integrity.
"Initially I had bad company at home but now that I am in fencing, it has kept me busy and now it is a better option for me because I feel happy doing it," says Jemimah Njeri, a 17-year-old member of Tsavora Fencing.
"I cannot imagine myself without this sport because it has kept me very busy. In my area many girls have become teenage mothers and that is not a wonderful life," adds 16-year-old Allen Grace...
As Tsavora Fencing continues to thrive, fuelled by the determination of its members and the support of the community, it stands as a testament to the transformative power of sport in, even the most challenging environments."
