She didn’t say she was in favor of abortions. She didn’t say she was in favor of STDs, divorce, fatherless children, poverty, homosexuality, AIDs, gangs, or murders. That’s quite a logical leap you’ve taken, from women being strong and healthy to abortion and murder! Let me turn the tables and give you a taste of your own medicine: are you saying that if women stopped competing in sports and became soft, weak, and helpless, that somehow there would be no more abortions, gangs, fatherless children, homosexuality, AIDs, gangs, and murders? Surely not.

Here’s a news flash: farm women in this country have always been strong, slender, independent, and tough. Physical strength has NOTHING to do with feminism or with politics.

But girls who take part in sports tend not to be those who get pregnant before marriage. They’re busy, they’re working hard, they have self-respect, and they don’t want to ruin their lives by an out-of-wedlock pregnancy. They are NOT the problem. It’s the girls who are sitting around with nothing to do except get in trouble who get knocked up.

I didn’t say or hint that she did.

But feminism is directly linked to all of those problems. And feminism (SEE TITLE IX) has certainly been linked to really pushing for women to be more like men....in athletics.

See my post above.
