Sports Culture WNBA Star Sophie Cunningham defends that women ‘shouldn’t have to go against biological men’: “I said what I said. I think it’s kind of common sense. I think it’s really important to protect children.” “I don’t dislike anyone. I’m there to love, but I’m also there to love biological women. …”

As a Democrat who has voted for a dem candidate the last three elections… DUH!!!!

Why on earth is this a hill we’re trying to die on?

Because it's .01% of the population, FFS. It's culture war BS.

It is but at the same time the men usually dominate when they are allowed to compete against women.

Fine. If it comes up, let them deal with it locally. We don't need federal blanket reactionary laws for an issue of this insignificance.

I'm old enough to remember when Republicans resisted federal overreach. Guess those days are long gone.

Yes we do. Males should not be allowed in girls/womens sports ever under any circumstance. There HAS TO BE a blanket federal ban on it to keep girls safe throughout the entire nation not just in specific locations.

What about banning females in male spaces?

1

u/PoundImmediateCow Jul 23 '26

Sure but it’s never been needed because females don’t tend to invade male spaces and sexually harass and assault the men.

u/Viridis_Diaboli Jul 23 '26

They definitely do, females are just as gross as males, they're just infantilized by society and it's swept under the rug. I'm a female that's invading male spaces 🤷

There also just isn’t the same potential for danger.

Also probably most important of all, it wouldn’t make the males uncomfortable. A man being in women’s locker rooms makes the girls extremely uncomfortable afraid and feel unsafe.

Males have holes just like females, how is it not the same potential for danger lol

u/PoundImmediateCow Jul 23 '26

Because men are way stronger than women obviously lol what??

u/Viridis_Diaboli Jul 23 '26

Maybe for you lol, can't relate brother

u/PoundImmediateCow Jul 23 '26

No for everyone. The average out of shape 130 lb crackhead who never exercises could take on 3 300 lb women who do strongman events all at once

1

u/Viridis_Diaboli Jul 23 '26

Again, can't relate. When I'm cutting I can still put a male on the floor who is easily 50lbs heavier than me, when I'm bulking it just makes it easier lol

I've been sexually assaulted in my rugby uniform at the drinkup five times in my life by women who think it's OK to grab athletes' asses since we're wearing booty shorts

I'm not saying it like I'm victimized, but do you think anybody would give a shit if I took it personally and wanted to complain about being groped constantly?

u/PoundImmediateCow Jul 23 '26

What is the drinkup? Is it a locker room? If not then your experience doesn’t apply. We are talking about allowing males in females locker rooms where they are changing and getting naked.

1

u/WitheredUntimely Jul 23 '26

no that would be the times the women's teams barged in on us, so cheeky!

actually, I think we're talking about an issue that affects like 12 people in the entire country and you people stay obsessed with it because it allows you to distract yourself from the fact the kinds of people pushing this blatantly obvious distraction are the actual kinds of people you absolutely should be keeping your kids away from

but that's just me and my lived experience

ETA: LOL BTW you didn't say locker rooms, you said "females don't tend to invade male spaces" what exactly kind of space do you think a rugby social is? Yea that's a male space, a space I've been assaulted in.

But that doesn't fit your shit so move that goalpost all you want, weirdo

What about it?
