(76,743 posts)These Rs she's talking about are unglued by trans athletes because it's unfair to the "real" women, while not caring one whit about those athletes AS women.
They deserve everything she dished out.

(862 posts)For speaking out Coach McGraw. Hopefully other women of her stature will. This is very encouraging. Thanks Yo_Mama for posting this.

Of course, she's coaching at a rather conservative (though certainly not the most conservative) Catholic school, so maybe this isn't that high on her priority list.

(2,410 posts)The patriarchy is terrified that they now have to compete. Up until the very recent past, all you had to do to be guaranteed a seat at the table was to be male, white and christian. It didn't matter how ignorant or incompetent you were, the man got the job.
Simply look at the vast majority of Repug men (and sorry to say women too) in Congress. Most of them are dim bulbs and incompetents. Don't think for a minute they are going to open the door of equality even a crack.
I have been ranting the last 40+ years that until the Congress and all other leadership posts are shared with women on an equitable basis we as a nation are going to be moving backward not forward. Clearly recent history proves the point.

(595 posts)50 years ago Phyllis Schlafly claimed the ERA would have men and women using the same bathrooms, that women would get drafted and that women would find it harder to get alimony (I think the third one is the one she was most concerned about). She also thought the ERA would promote gay rights, which hit her right in the face when her son turned out to be gay, something she disliked being asked about for the rest of her life.

(13,044 posts)rights. I can see voting against my personal benefit for the benefit of the whole but a vote that deprives over half the inhabitants of the country of equality is mind-boggling. I think these women think THEY will not be effected or they WANT to be second-class citizens.
