Come on, Beatles Reference Kinja Name. It’s critical to point out micro-aggressions as well as larger sexist and racist offenses.

That’s how pervasive sexism works. He did not stop & think that maybe marrying him was not as important as the culmination of her years of training. But he DID think that the culmination of HIS years of training was more important than a proposal. Sexism isn’t always about misogyny. Sometimes it’s just about treating…

This is just the kind of thing guys in love think up when it comes time to propose. Some guys rent a blimp. Others organize a flash mob. Me? Dinner in a fancy restaurant and a bended knee just after desert. But this guy thought of his proposal a few weeks or months ago and was like, “Holy shit this will be the best…

Exactly, he never even considered using his moment to do his proposal. He just took hers and she had no option, but to be gracious about it.

Public proposals are gross anyway.

And I feel like you haven’t watched the video. Girlfriend looks pissed. The screenshot at the top of this article contains the least-annoyed looking frame, and even there I’d say that smile looks a bit strained.

I would have told him to get off the damn stage. You wait 6 years to propose and decide that the best time is during an Olympic medal ceremony? Nuh-uh that silver medal is the only bling she needs right then.

And then to have it described as the “bigger prize.”

Yeah, fucking FUCK this. Let her have her goddamn once in a lifetime moment. This is like dudes who propose at someone else’s wedding.

She won silver, but patriarchy won gold.

I expect better from the BBC. That’s some bullshit.

I am wondering if it makes me especially dead inside that his choice of doing that at that time screamed “THIRSTYYY” to me. Just let her have her moment. Ask her later.

Cute, but he stole her thunder. I don’t know if I’d have been okay with him stealing my shine with a proposal. But she loves him I guess.

Boyfriend does this, tampered down from his original line “How you doin’?” Which I quickly killed. I sent him this post this ensued.

“Another female employee of Gawker Media has a more cynical take, suggesting that “they say it to remind you that they’re there so you can compliment them or soothe them like the big fucking babies they are.”

My personal preference is “please clap.”

Deadspin, a sports blog that I’ve only read once. Unfortunately, I forgot that no one at that site has ever had sex before, so none of them knew what I was talking about.

Seems a little weird/creepy to me.

He could tear up a picture of Dale Earnhardt or light a confederate flag on fire.
