Ok I'll dumb it down. 10% of Letsrun freedom fighting white boomers are making a good faith argument about track and field, a sport they like. 90% are seething transphobes who pretend to care about women's sports, which they do not watch. They have lost political capital and rhetorical legitimacy.
Believing that all you need to do is argue logically and truthfully is, frankly, purposefully ignorant. You think NCAA women are going to support, rally behind, or associate with the same exact people who also think abortion should result in the death penalty? Who literally worship Donald Trump? Who degrade NCAA and pro female athletes at every opportunity? Because thats what the "conservative" 40+ white guys believe in this country. Temporarily aligning on one minute belief does not justify joining, especially when one side's reasoning is abject hatred.
You can insist that YOU are a different type of conservative, or that (*insert old white R senator here*) is actually a principled constitution-respecter and not a virulent transphobe. But nobody buys it. Nobody. Believes. It.
So women have to do it. You extremely-online Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson fans are rat poison to any pro-woman movement.
I'm disheartened by posts like these, as they make frank discussion very difficult.
That is the goal. The goal is to shut down debate. He can't counter your arguments so he would rather dismiss them by suggesting you have no right to speak.
