We’ve been watching this nonsense for a while now. In 2022, many of us watched in disgust as transgender swimmer Lia Thomas swam against actual female swimmers like Riley Gaines. (Note that Thomas was a male swimmer his first three years for the University of Pennsylvania and came back as a female swimmer in his final year.) Fast forward to the 2024 Olympic Games, and we all just watched “female” boxer Imane Khelif of Algeria literally beat her Italian opponent Angela Carini to a pulp in the Games’ opening bout. Carini quit after just 46 seconds. Why? Because she was fighting a dude! In case you didn’t know, Khelif was disqualified from the 2023 World Boxing Championships after failing a gender eligibility test.

In all of this absurdity over the last couple of years, one question has burned in my mind…where are all the bra-burning feminists rioting in protest over women’s rights?
Speaking Out
Gaines herself has spoken out. The 12-time NCAA All-American swimmer actually tied transgender Lia Thomas in the above-mentioned swimming competition, but the trophy was given to Thomas to show how inclusive the NCAA is. What an insult. Gaines was originally afraid to speak out – rightfully so. But she says that one day it hit her – if women were not willing to stick up for themselves, how can they expect anyone else to?
Good point, but why weren’t hoards of women backing Gaines? They really never have. I find that stunning, especially given that the same women are protesting for the right to abortion. If they want reproductive freedom (as they say), wouldn’t they also be in support of women like Gaines, and not wanting her success to be usurped by a man? That is unless the abortion activists are all paid activists, and we are watching a staged event.
Two other Olympic athletes spoke out from Egypt. Volleyball players Marwa Abdelhady and Elghobashy Doaa wore their traditional hijabs despite the French banning them for the Games. Sports Minister Amelie Oudea-Castera said that the ban respects the principles of secularism. One world order, one world religion. The Egyptian players were outraged, and in defiance, opposed the rule and instead adhered to the guidelines of their faith. They are the only team to oppose the bans.
They spoke out, saying, “I want to play in my hijab; she wants to play in a bikini—everything is OK. Just respect all different cultures and religions. No one can tell me how to dress. It’s a free country; everyone should be allowed to do what they want.”
Women have had a long history of speaking out. In 1945, after World War II, this article was written explaining that soldiers coming home would have to fight their own women. During the war, American women forged ahead in industry and obtained more education. This author says that the soldiers would put a stop to that once they returned home: “One might say the women get out of hand.” Women fought for their rights then after the war. The author noted: “Founded upon the oldest antagonism in the world, this ancient conflict sometimes smolders but it never dies.” Why does it have to be a conflict? Why can’t men and women just work together and respect each others’ differences?
Certainly the feminist movement of the 1960s forever changed women’s roles. This movement was about, among other things, respecting that some women wanted to have jobs outside the household, in addition to being a wife or a mother.
What happened?
Feminists of the 1960s were typically ultra left, so they are sadly the same ultra left activists today who are actually rooting for the transgender rather than the woman. It’s gone that far. Gaines points to soccer player Megan Rapinoe, who is hailed as a feminist trailblazer. Yet Rapinoe opposed the Protection of Girls and Women in Sports Act to prohibit schools from allowing biological males in sports. The House passed the bill but the Senate blocked it. And clearly, the traditional definition of “feminist” has changed. Just look at Rapinoe’s example.
Organizations like PragerU are speaking out, but the mainstream media is certainly not going to promote their message. Here’s Andrew Klavan saying he hates feminism (not women) because it has turned into a movement that says men and women are more or less the same.
There are a few individuals speaking out, like this mom who says her daughter was sanctioned by her college sorority for wearing a sombrero on Cinco de Mayo (it was an act of cultural appropriation – gasp!) The mom aptly points out that at the same time, men can dress like teenage girls, with no repercussions. However, if there are organized conservative efforts to support women like Riley Gaines, they don’t currently have a voice in the mainstream media.
