    Ebony and Karlee, putting their bodies on the line, suffer ridicule.
    ABC cares about this.

  2. C.L. says:

    More women pretending to be men, dressing like men and being hailed as feminist heroines for becoming pseudo-men.

    As in the trans world, so – increasingly – in the normal world: maleness in all things is annihilating the feminine.

  3. A reader says:

    To be clear CL: are you saying women shouldn’t be allowed to play sport?

  4. Cassie of Sydney says:

    To be clear CL: are you saying women shouldn’t be allowed to play sport?

    To be clear, C.L has never said anything of the sort.

  5. C.L. says:

    A.R., I’m not sure why you’ve introduced the word “allowed.” Men’s sport should not be conflated with sport generally. There are women’s games and genteel unisex ones (like cricket). The point is that the relentless promotion of women imitating men in male sports and pastimes is ideological and catastrophic.

    Women have different centres of gravity, physical strength and balance than men. They are therefore at greater danger of breaking their necks in rodeos. This is foreseeable and irrefutable.

  6. NFA says:

    But what about rodeos for trans?

    Discrimination!

    Particularly ironic considering so-called “toxic masculinity.”

    If males are so “toxic” why do so many women want to be like them?

    Just saw this at Miranda D’s:

    This is a culture in terminal decline.

    To a degree, yes. However, it is also designed to work the other way. Men are encouraged, and in many cases expected, to become feminine. While the women are out playing rugby, the men are at home being the ‘mother’ to the baby. I have noticed two of my nephews doing this. The mother and father have exactly the same responsibility in looking after their baby.

  10. C.L. says:

    Yes, this ideology – that being a man is the epitome of being a woman – is of course coupled with the push to make being a woman the epitome of being a man.

    But the imitation of masculinity in the first case and the joyous trading away of femininity in the second both have the effect of making masculinity normative and constitute an annihilation of the feminine.

    Professional sport is the most meaningless form of entertainment. I don’t know why people enjoy it at all. Bread and circuses, I guess.

  12. Entropy says:

    Gladiators with rules. And in the case of soccer, acting.

  13. Boxcar says:

    It’s not advertising, so it must be journalism, or maybe Propaganda?
    Football, in its many variations is not Chess.
    It is a war game with individual and tribe level winners.
    Right now, the AFL is trying to intellectualise a survival response so they can write a multisex rule. good luck with that.
    Player One: “I’m going to kick a goal”
    Player Two: “No you’re not”
    AFL: “Could you think it through?”
    Player Two (split second thought): “How much can I hurt him without hurting myself”?
    AFL: “We will make a rule to stop you”
    .
    Female football can’t be the same game.
    Go look at U18 football and see why it’s masculine.
    But, curiously, Sam Kerr’s goal epitomised the difference – Determination, Speed, Skill, pinpoint accuracy, almost never seen in womens’ soccer.

    This is a culture in terminal decline.

    Cory Bernadi’s recent Confidential Daily showcased his support for the “sport” of Mixed Martial Arts (i.e. bareknuckle fists, knees, elbows, feet, headbuts, no rules except for submission, etc etc).
    He’d be in favour of women’s faces being pummelled to bloody smithereens.
    Which in MMA is the winning strategy – finally get your opponent defenceless on the floor and smash their face until they “tap out”. Throw a few more for good measure or until the ref drags you away and you have a winner.
    You go girrrrl!!!
    Yeah, nah. Not for me.

  15. C.L. says:

    Bernardi’s support for MMA surprises me. I would ban it outright.
    It is a ‘sport’ for dogs.

  16. Christine says:

    It’s become a weird world.
    Men walking out with a baby strapped to the body
    and women in turn wanting to play men’s games.
