    This is stupid. There’s no “far right” to purge women… the outcry is whether or not women’s sports are being treated fairly. The whole controversy about this boxing issue started when information was released that this female has failed gender tests in the past. Of course there’s going to be an outcry from people.

      If they were doing it to help, you’d think they’d actually look into if what they were doing was helping… when you care about someone or something, you put in the effort.

      Would it make a difference to you if the controversy kicked off because the org that disqualified these two fighters was banned by the IOC from participating in the Olympics for shady stuff? Or if the org has never said why they were disqualified? Or if the guy making the wild claims is the head of the org and a friend of Putin, and the DQ for one fighter happened after she beat an until then undefeated Russian fighter?

      You really should look into the background of it. Here’s an AP News link

      The right is notoriously known for the stauch stance of treating women fairly.

      Inane Khelif never ‘failed a gender test’. A single test of unspecified nature and undisclosed method conducted by an unreliable sports governing body has purportedly either revealed higher testosterone levels or XY chromosomes. But due to the unspecified nature the result is neither reproducible nor reliable.

      Lemmy doesn’t care about fairness. Only about ideology.

      According to Lemmy it’s only fair to remove gender based competitions as gender is only a social construct. Fuck all the women who worked hard and dedicated their lives to a single event. Fuck them brutally because we want our ideology to stand victory.

      An extended result of the view is that unaltered women does belong in the home pursuing more domestic tasks.

      Exactly. And the outcry over unfairness in women’s sports is an effort to save it, not destroy it.
