Italy's Angela Carini stood toe-to-toe with a man intent on literally knocking her out until it became clear that the fight was not a fair one. After Algeria's Imane Khelif was declared winner by abandon, Carini tearfully told a reporter she dropped out because "I've never been hit so hard in my life."
Khelif was disqualified from the 2023 world championships after failing an unspecified gender eligibility test, and as there is reportedly no indication he identifies as transgender, his presence at the Paris Olympics has become a divisive issue.
Doreen Denny of Concerned Women for America says as unfair, demeaning, and dismissive as it is to force women swimmers to climb into pools and compete against men, the boxing ring is worse.
"It's not just discrimination on the basis of sex," she contends. "This is actually physically and violently abusive towards women."
Florida Congressman Greg Steube (R) says it is "wrong," "disgusting," and "horrifying" that the world has fallen so far Left.
"You saw on full display how upset that female boxer was," he recently told Washington Watch. "She has probably worked her entire life for this moment, and she has to go up against a male. And as soon as she got hit a couple of times … she's like, 'There's no way I can fight this guy,' and she's just absolutely devastated."
Denny finds it unconscionable that feminist groups, whose supposed mission is to speak out for women, have kept utterly silent about the literal threat their politics pose to girls' and women's lives.
"What has traditionally been understood of … these feminist organizations like National Organization for Women, the National Women's Law Center, [is] they've sold out," Denny submits.
In short, she says those groups are more interested in political power than the women athletes, prisoners, and domestic violence victims they pretend to represent.
"They are very much controlling of a political party, and so they still have a seat at that table," says Denny.
After seeing how the Biden-Harris administration's perversion of women's sports endangers females, Steube thinks the Title IX changes will be an issue for voters this November. But as of now, the Left does not seem to be listening.
"They don't care about the safety of women in sports, and they don't care about the fact that there [are] going to be biological men in your daughters' locker rooms in middle school, or in high school, or in college," Steube laments. "They don't care about that, because they are pushing this progressive agenda on the American people."
At least five lawsuits against the Title IX changes expanding federal protections to LGBTQ+ students have prevailed, but the administration is appealing.
"It's absolutely ridiculous," the congressman contends. "I hope it enrages every American and they show up … and they vote against these types of policies, because this is what the Left is today, and this is what the current administration pushes on our kids."
Biden's new policy was supposed to take effect yesterday, but its enforcement has been blocked, at least temporarily, in 26 states and in thousands of schools across the nation.
