    Between this and the woman from USA rugby…

    I really don’t understand why conservatives are shocked elite athletes in physical contact sports don’t look like fucking Barbies.

    I played rugby in college, and while there are some model level beauties playing at lower levels (weirdly a lot of ex cheerleaders at the college level) they’re still the minority on any team. Some of the positions need speed and agility, but some need absolute bruisers who just run thru other women.

    At an Olympic level, those bruisers will dwarf the average man.

      It’s because of misogyny and their very well established idea of what a woman should look like. Biology, psychology, psychiatry and reality don’t matter with these people.
