What I have found interesting now that I have taken the women in sport class is how most women want to be equal to men in every aspect except for the dominate role – which is odd to me. To me it is a complete oxymoron because there is no way for women to become equal to men if women themselves accept and look for the dominant male figure in their personal relationships or elsewhere. That mode of thinking and subsequent actions confirms that mode of thinking does nothing positive for women at all. In fact it reinforces the social construction of the submissive, helpless woman, which is exactly what feminists like me are fighting against.
Also how top female athletes who are powerful, independent, dominant, highly educated, and considered to be intellectuals are selling out their entire sex to please the needs of their own pockets and perverted men. By women posing as sex objects for the sole purpose of male eye candy – pleasing the needs of perverted men – only to diminish their athletic ability in the eyes of society and promotes their primal instincts. By promoting their primal instincts, it depicts these women as wild animals who cannot control their sexual desires because they don’t have the mental capacity that can think past an orgasm. We all know sex sells and makes big bucks, but how long will money satisfy their soul knowing that the only thing that they promote for women all over the world, including themselves, is that women are worth noting more than male personal pleasure. I’m just wondering when female athletes are going to wake up and stand up for themselves and stand for a cause that is invaluable to any monetary denomination. If equality is what they want then female athletes need to stop degrading their entire sex for personal gain, because that is what fuels the patriarchal thought process of society to hold women beneath men. Most men fear dominant women and they will do whatever is needed to keep their superiority over women, and with the help of female athletes who traded sides to aid in male desires and their own pockets, male domination will continue to prosper forever. Media is what molds the minds of the uneducated world to the point of what they see must be true. So if the world sees naked top female athletes posing in provocative positions all the time in the media, and not depicting their ability, performance, and or accomplishments then what is the world to think of women in general????
