Via Huffington Post: The Media Is Saying And Doing A Bunch Of Sexist Stuff During The Olympics.
“A commentator said Team USA members looked like they ‘might as well be standing in the middle of a mall’ after they were caught on camera laughing and talking following their utter annihilation of the competition during the qualifying round.”
I really have nothing intelligent to say, but in fairness I think the only thing TO say is “Go fuck yourself.”
See also: “Katie Ledecky swims like a man.” [upon protest] “It was a compliment.” Seen in this second article, because there was enough bullshit to write two: Stop Attributing The Success Of Women Olympians To Men.
For fuck’s sake, US media, stop. We get it. You’re run by a bunch of men who are insecure. Duly noted. Now stop projecting your lack of confidence onto American women. You’re embarrassing yourselves.
If it was just one thing, I’d let it go. But it’s one thing after another… *sighs*
