Men in women's sports: I'm going to (partially) blame the victims once again

I have written about this very thing in the past, but I think it deserves repeating now that the fight against men competing in women's sport is once again in full swing, largely thanks to Trump's executive order related to this.

Many girls and women in the United States (and in a few other countries) are once again raising their objections to males competing against them in sports, using their locker rooms and so on.

Unfortunately only a microscopic minority of these girls and women dare to speak out. And who can blame them? I certainly don't. In the current political climate if you speak out against it, you are very likely to experience harassment, discrimination, verbal attacks and, in some cases, even outright physical assault. The current American far-leftist ideology has normalized harassment and violence against dissenters, against anybody who criticizes the ideology. A woman might literally get punched in the face for saying that she doesn't want to compete against men in sports, and that's no exaggeration. And, in many places in the United States, the attacker might not even receive any sort of significant punishment.

But even then, I'm still blaming the girls and women, ie. the victims, in this situation, at least partially.

Why?

Because they have the absolutely perfect tool to combat this, yet the vast, vast majority of them are refusing to use that tool.

It's a way to protest in a way that doesn't involve speaking up, doesn't involve putting yourself in the spotlight, doesn't involve showing your face, doesn't even involve writing opinions on some obscure anonymous social media account (which by far and large will get ignored). Moreover, it's a form of protest that if all the affected women were to engage in it, would be extremely effective. In fact, it would be significantly more effective than expressing your opinion on social media or even in front of committees or in front of the cameras. Heck, it's more effective than going to some major national TV news program and expressing your protest there.

So it's absolutely perfect: You don't have to do anything, you don't have to make yourself known, you don't have to show your face, you don't have to say anything, you don't have to expose yourself to public scrutiny and fame or infamy, and it's much, much more effective than any of that (at least assuming that all affected women do it.)

And what is that? Well, I already said it above: Literally do nothing. As in: Boycott all events where males are competing against women. Just don't participate. "Get the flu." Become "sick" that day.

Nobody can force you to participate in a sport event against your will. You don't even have to state a reason why you aren't participating. You don't even have to state that it's a form of protest. Just don't go. Claim that you caught the flu and you can't participate.

If all the girls or women who would have participated suddenly boycott the event, leaving only the men there participating, that will be significantly more effective than any other form of protest. If there are one or two boys or men who are participating, just let them do it on their own. Nobody else shows up.

It's that simple.

You have the perfect tool to fight against this. Use it. If you refuse to use it, then you can't blame anybody else than yourself.
