In today’s modern world, few young women have the guts and wherewithal to fight city hall over heinous disregard of human rights. But Riley Gaines has become the face of enforcing Title IX in women’s sports at public universities.
Finally, the University of Pennsylvania has capitulated to the pressure from the federal government to admit that biological males should not be able to compete in women’s sports. UPA is apologizing to women on the swim team who lost opportunities when the school decided that trans athletes such as Lia Thomas, an unsuccessful male swimmer, should be welcomed on the women’s swim team. This essentially removed talented women from competition in the effort to promote woke ideology.
Biology is a real factor in strength and endurance. Notwithstanding the fact that I believe any human can live their lives as they see fit, biological males have an unfair advantage physically versus biological women. Gender may be fluid. Sex is not.
Riley Gaines stood up to the progressives who cannot conceive any truth but their own skewed ideology. Riley is a 21st century heroine for women.
I came of age during the early years of the women’s rights movement. 50 years ago a woman could not get a home mortgage, a car loan or a credit card without a man co-signer. As a young woman, I was a quota hire at my first adult job. It really annoyed me. I wanted to be the best, not a token.
It is disappointing to me that here we are, 50 years later, still trying to defend the rights of young women on college campuses. Where is the outrage?
Who would have suspected that Donald Trump would be the savior of feminism? But, it turns out that he is the supporter of the marginalized in America. Women. People of color. Jews. Working class. Just…wow!
