Body-shaming is never ok, but especially in this instance, it is just ridiculous. These women are Olympic-level athletes. No body that can do the things that these women do is going to be ânormative.â That is just impossible. The complaints about Khalif âhitting too hard,â I mean, she is a world class boxer! Of course she hits hard! Did you see any of the swimming events, especially those featuring Katy Ledecky? She won her races by seconds in a sport where hundredths are the usual deciding margin. Of course, she has also had âwe can always tellâ bullshit spread about her. This kind of shit is nauseating, and especially infuriating because you never hear this about men. The physically freaky characteristics that make for top level swimmers, marathoners, throwers, they are ok if you are a man. But women âdonât look like that.â Iâm not going to carry on this rant, but DAMN IT!!! I am fed up with this misogynistic shit. I do not believe any more that this even is transphobic, it is straight misogyny. (Not that these are exclusive, of course.) The mindset that women must be fragile, thin, waif-like and most of all, dependent, is barf-making and needs to die in a fire.
It was totally innocuous, the usual stunt a baseball team will pull during the dog days of August to gin up some social media attention. And yet, nevertheless, people online (many of them dudes, obviously) lost their damn minds.
The complaints were frequently of a puritanical and/or phony high-brow bent.
Iâm by no means a prude, but this was a game with a ton of kids in attendance (something called âCamp Dayâ). What do you tell kids when they ask why this person is a viral sensation?
âOh, just grown-up stuffâ, the same way people do for everything else they donât feel their kids are ready to hear about?
An 11 year old who is my kid (they havenât quite gotten there yet)? Probably âshe was interviewed on some TV show and said something about oral sex a lot of people found funny. Mostly men. She leveraged that into a bit of fame as an influencer.â
Age they are now, 7 years, either âeh. Sheâs Internet famous. I donât really get itâ or âshe said something on a tv show about a sex thing and some people thought it was funny. She used that attention and got more popular with Internet videos.â
âNo, Iâll explain the sex thing when youâre older.â
Truthfully though- are most kids even going to notice enough to ask? Mine is a curious creature able to sniff out an uncomfortable topic from 12 paces but Iâm not sure most kids would notice.
Does he mean a totally normal looking Gen Zer? Cause thatâs what I see⌠a totally normal Gen ZerâŚ
Is this a âtransvestgatorâ thing, or is it just because she is a supporter of LGBTQ rights? I am confused, she looks like most kids who come into my office.
Ella Emhoff the model. I bet they looked thru ever photo of her last night to find the most unflattering one. And that is all they could come up with I suppose this one wouldnât do?
Or any of her professional photos?

I think theyâre just creeps who hate anyone who doesnât conform to their narrow expectations
Ahh, thatâs it! They are terrified of Gen Z! Especially the young women
Right?! And her dad is the most GenX dad! Just finished watching his speech, and if he were several years younger and we attended the same university, we absolutely wouldâve been in the same circle of friends - punks, goths and good-weird dorks.
