Over My Dead Body, Son

They called it history-making here in Minneapolis. Yesterday, Elissa Reinsma became the first female to compete in the state high school wrestling tournament. It was not a step forward. Some cultures spend a thousand years unlearning the brutality of men toward women.

Get real, dads. You know exactly what almost every healthy boy is thinking. If a jock from Northern Minnesota encircles her around the breasts and twists his leg around her thighs, trust me, he will dream about that tonight.

what would you do in that situation?

If I was forced to wrestle a female my values that I was raised with (never hit a girl) would take over and I would politely roll over and let her pin me with no resistance.

Besides being a chivalrous way to protest it would be considerably less embarrassing than if she ACTUALLY pinned me.

Good solution, though as a teenage boy, I must admit that I dreamed about wrestling Elli May Clampett on the Beverly Hillbillies. Wasn't she a sight for sore eyes?

She could shoot straighter than Jed, loved critters and could wrestle Jethro to the ground. And she was smarter than anyone in the family with the possible exception of granny. No wonder I fell for Sarah Palin when McVain introduced her last fall!

Feminism was not about recognizing that women have the same rights as men, it was about making women into men.

What message does this send to society? That in most settings we must strictly avoid even the appearance of any inappropriate touching, and yet by the very nature of the sport, almost any touching is required?

When political correctness becomes mandatory, it becomes dangerous.

New cultural landmine: what will be the official reaction when a Muslim wrestler refuses to wrestle this woman? I'll wager they will do everything in their power to not have that public confrontation, but they will quietly give him a pass if he does refuse.

Depends on what she looks like. Still, a teen boy wrestling with a teen girl... it’s gonna get mighty turgid down there.

I was a teen boy not too long ago, and I can tell you that dispite all biological urges if I were wrestling a girl, my main concern would to absolutly not lose.

"Manly gentleness is not an epidemic in our culture. Rap videos, brutal movies, fatherless homes, and military madness have already made thousands of women the victim of man's abuse."

What in the hell is that supposed to mean?

Dude, if you're wrestling a girl, you haven't lost. Pin her or be pinned, you come out a winner. ;-)

Indeed. Notice how on movies and TV(such as Elly May and Jethro’s “wrastling” matches), the woman almost always beats the man whenever there’s a battle of the sexes? And if the man does win, then he is portrayed as a villainous misogynist intent on abusing women.

In the meantime, I wonder if Elissa Reinsma also won the right to shower with and change in the lockerrooms with her fellow wrestling teammates as well. After all, equality is equality and we wouldn’t want to deny her the joy of breaking that glass ceiling.
