BREAKING THREAD

Holy cow!! The assistant volleyball coach at San Jose St Uni (SJSU), the team with the boy on it, has filed a Title IX complaint over this against her own school. Melissa Batie-Smoose is standing with the girls and the allegations are astounding!!

1/ Image
Allegedly, things are falling apart at that school. It sounds like an absolute nightmare for all the girls on the team.

For one thing, they are afraid of being hurt in practice. When the boy spikes the ball the girls are turning away! They don’t want to be hurt. 2/
They tried complaining to the head coach, but he is on the boy’s side. Maybe bc his job is being threatened or maybe bc he is a true believer, but he is calling the girls on the team bigots for complaining.

This is not going over well. 3/
All but three of the women are unhappy about this situation. There is incredible tension. The players are mad the head coach. He is calling them names. Players are skipping practice. People are supposedly very unhappy. 4/
The team captain is reportedly having her scholarship threatened for speaking up.

The ladies don’t like to lose but they also don’t feel like a win is a win either. There is no joy. Even if they win a championship it won’t be a real win. 5/
The team captain is put in the position of wanting to help her team win but not feeling like it’s fair. She is alleged to feel numb about it all.

Can you imagine what they are putting these women through? 6/
One woman allegedly had a panic attack in class when it was revealed to that she was on this volleyball team. The story about this is heartbreaking. 7/
And then there is an allegation that the boy and a player from an opposing team colluded to have the ball repeatedly spiked at the team captain. I’m summarizing this and you just have to read this article. 8/
There is so much in this story that if it turns out to be true is absolutely astounding. I’ve been at this a long time and my jaw was open reading most of it.

Their entire volleyball program is melting down it appears. 9/
Read the whole thing here. You have to read this. Seriously.

Whoever thought this was an ok thing to do was not thinking.

BREAKING. THREAD.

The volleyball ladies lost this round of their case. They were suing to get the man out of the tournament. The judge, who demonstrated bias from the start, demanding fake pronoun usage, ruled against them. 1/ Image
Image
The judge said that the ladies had failed to show that the balance of equities is in their favor.

What on this earth does he think the purpose of having women’s sports is? 2/ Image
The tournament will continue with two women’s teams facing each other. Utah and Boise state will play to see who will play against San Jose State (the team with the man on it that has a bye bc so many teams forfeited against them.)

Let’s talk about spy cams. They are small these days. They can look like the head of a screw. Do you know what is big business? Selling that footage. You or your daughter could have been filmed.

Do you know where they get placed? Bathrooms. 1/ Image
They get placed in bathroom stalls and changing rooms.

What is the easiest place to put one of these?

In a bathroom stall that is “gender neutral” with floor to ceiling walls and doors.

So before you advocate for those please think of this. 2/ Image
It’s hard for a man to sneak into the ladies room, hide in there and set up cameras.

In a “gender neutral” bathroom stall it’s easy. He isn’t out of place in there. He is allowed in. He is completely hidden from view. He can stay as long as he wants. 3/

Do you finally get why we don’t want men in our bathrooms???

This guy isn’t a one off. Women who say no to these men get all KINDS of threats all the time.

Will you all PLEASE keep these men out of women’s restrooms???
Threats from these men are not unique to Nancy Mace. We get them ALL the time. 2/ Image

They get incredibly dangerous and detailed. This is what happens when you mix entitlement, misery, and exogenous hormones. 3/ Image

Thread.

This is not a political statement as many have said. Saying it is, well, THAT’S the political statement. And it was brilliant of Kellie-Jay Keen to force their hand.

This is just a word. A word we need in the English language bc adult human females exist. 1/ Image
The adult human female is a big category. We have a word for the fourth stomach of a cow (abomasum). Don’t you think half the human race needs a word?

Without a word you erase a concept. Have you ever tried to discuss something you can’t put in words? 2/
For years we were told that no one was erasing women. So KJK set out to prove that wasn’t true. She put up a billboard with nothing more than this dictionary definition and they freaked out.

They called it haate speech. Took it down. By law.

Just this word. 3/ Image

Would you like to know the behavior that was deemed unacceptable?

A woman was wearing a shirt with the dictionary definition of a woman on it. That’s all.

That is deemed so unacceptable that they think the person should be thrown off a plane. 1/ Image
They think it’s a dog whistle to even mention that women exist.
This is how far they have come.

You cannot have women in their world. Our existence causes them agony. Just our existence. They demand we stop ….being. 2/ Image
This is the shirt that is so unacceptable. The word that must not be spoken. The word that must not be defined.

If you’d like to get one please go to LetWomenSpeak website. Give the original creator of this tshirt (Kellie-Jay Keen) your business. 3/ Image
