A viral mom named Steph has had enough with the sexist commentary in the Olympics and has forbidden her daughters from watching it. Feminists who make these allegations need to man up; male Olympians are the by far the bigger victims of sexism, they just don’t complain about it.
In a blog post on the site Grounded Parents, Steph took offense to almost every comment made by a male announcer during the Olympics.
“It started during the opening ceremony where Gisele Bundchen was described by the male announcer as ‘one of Brazil’s most recognizable exports.’ No mention of her accomplishments. She’s a person, not a commodity, asshole,” she wrote.Without googling it, name the three biggest exports from Brazil… I doubt they don’t have a stronger word association to the country than Gisele Bundchen.
She was also irate when an NBC commentator said that the female gymnastics team looked like they “might as well be standing in the middle of a mall,” and when Hungarian swimmer Katinka Hosszú’s trainer/husband was credited for his wife’s success, Steph nearly blew her stack.
“He is her coach and husband. He is not the person responsible for her medal or her swimming achievements. SHE is the person responsible for her badassery.”
My hunch is that Steph is the kind of woman who supports politicians like Elizabeth Warren who say business owners never built their own business, because the government built the roads. Yet, a female athlete owes all her success to herself, nothing to her coach and husband who train, push, and love her. They’re basically just innocent bystanders.
