So many things wrong with this argument. First of all, what is “normal women”? Given that they’re not testing for elevated testosterone unless you’re flagged (likely by winning), there’s no evidence that anyone on the field has less than elevated testosterone. And since hormone levels exist along a range in all women…

They’d check how much of it was bound to her receptors, screen her for known mutations in those same receptors, weigh the hoarseness of her voice, rate the development of her pubic hair and breasts, evaluate her muscles, size her labia, palpate her vagina, and measure her anogenital distance. In other words, they’d…

How fascinating that being your kid’s best friend is the reason Katie Holmes is a 5/5 mom and Jada Pinkett Smith is a 1/5 mom. I wonder what on earth the difference between these two women could possibly be to provoke such disparate reactions to the same information. Hmmm.

If this is a viral campaign to get me to spend way too much money on a piece of jewelry from a company I’d never heard of before, it’s very, very effective.

#jeah, that sounds plausible too...

That wouldn’t matter at all if they had been instructed not to go anywhere without a security person, or to stay out of certain areas, or not to be out drunk and acting the fool while in Rio as a member of the team. It would only matter if the instructions were “don’t be out late/go out drinking the night before your…

It might have to do with being out after a curfew, or out drinking, against the advice or orders of the US Swim Team. Not “trouble” like being sent to jail, but trouble like “What the hell did we tell you about going off on your own in Rio?” from a coach.

I know logic is beyond you, but saying that every group of girls actually hates each other is saying that women are incapable of friendship. The fact that you can’t defend your own statement says a lot. Very telling. Stop talking.

Simplest answer is usually the best: probably because he hasn’t spent 17 years re-evaluating his actions and coming to more enlightened conclusions about consent. He thinks what happened *to him* was bad — that the accusation and trial and appeal were horrible times in his life — but still doesn’t think they did…

Yep, that’s the money quote. Fuck this guy and all the twittering on about the “important” women in his life.

Jackline Mwende, 27, says she was counseled by her pastor to try to save her marriage, despite escalating abuse.

You’re an idiot. The fact that the person who posted “women are incapable of friendship” would call another comment lazy and simplistic is hilarious.

Spoken like someone who was never a young girl. Misogyny is so edgy, bro.

Sounds familiar. I was yelling at my TV last night, “These are semifinals! Who TF cares about the semifinals?!”

That hug is making me tear up. I’m such a sucker for the Olympics.

I like it.

Please tell me they’re now the Greensboro ____hawks.

Let’s get this culture war off the ground already; call them the Haboobs!

That’s a good list. I feel like bats are criminally underutilized in the world of mascots. How is there not a baseball team with a bat mascot?

It happens. It’s awkward.
