Last night, the Mr. and I had the amazing opportunity to go to the US Women’s National Team vs Japan in Seattle, the city that made Megan Rapinoe famous.
On the team was Olivia Moultrie who had to sue the NWSL to fight for the same rights as boys, to play professional sports at 15!
As is made clear by Moultrie’s case, sexism is something that women and girls in sports are STILL facing. Despite the disadvantages girls still face on the basis of sex, Rapinoe (who at the height of her career once lost to a boys under 15 team) wants to pull the ladder up after her and allow men and boys to compete in female sports if they claim to have identity issues.
XX-XY Athletics made a great response to Rapinoe’s position.
