the more I see women get really weird with synchronized swimming the more interested I become in synchronized swimming

really grinds my gears when i see posts like “wow female athletes sure are STRONGER than male athletes” “i’ve seen men cry over a scraped knee and women play with a sprained ankle” “female athletes are so POWERFUL men are crybabies”

like oh my GOD do y’all not hear yourselves. NOT ONLY are you reinforcing the same harmful ideas that men can’t express their pain, can’t cry when they’re hurt, can’t tap out when they’re unable to continue playing

BUT ALSO why do you think women in sports HAVE TO BE THAT WAY!!! they HAVE to play through the pain they HAVE to be ten times as strong to be respected half as much as male athletes BECAUSE OF WHAT ????? that’s right folks it’s MISOGYNY

so let’s quit applauding people for pushing way past their limits in order to survive in their world and let’s also quit shaming people for accepting their limits and expressing pain and emotions!!!!!!!!! also PAY FEMALE ATHLETES EQUALLY THANKS

[kurtsvonneslut]

THIS APPLIES EVEN MORE FOR WOMEN OF COLOR IN SPORTS BTW

so let’s all get behind simone biles please bc she is up against all of this on a GLOBAL SCALE and she still said “no thank you, i’m not going to push myself more than is safe for me” and THAT is incredible to see

[artisticswimming]
