Yeah, and she knows what she's in for, having trained and wrestled for a while and whatnot. She's not a fragile flower that needs some dude to tell her to stay safe and dainty, she's a wrestler. 

Nah, fuck that. I don’t care what he intended, what happened was he disrespected her as an athlete. Next. 

Because it’s not chauvinism, it’s chivalry.

huh. I wonder what the gay/bi wrestlers do in high school. Maybe they just forfeit all their matches? It isn’t the boner thing, I think. Just pure old fashioned misogyny. The kind where he actually believes the lie that he is somehow a threat to all women, everywhere, even when they demonstrably have the same physical…

THIS. The issue isn’t his libido - it’s that he’s an abusive scumbag. They don’t make shots for that.

I don’t want to treat a young lady like that on the mat. Or off the mat. And not to disrespect the heart or the effort that she’s put in. That’s not what I want to do, either.
