The Olympic Boxing Scandal: a Thought Correction Is Needed

Following Imane Khelif’s success in the Olympic boxing competition against Angela Carini, a belligerent conflict has erupted over who should and should not be allowed to compete in women’s activities. Sites like CNN, USA Today, AP, Reuters, and many others with a marked left-wing bias are convinced that Imane Khelif, despite possessing “genetically adult” attributes, is a person in every possible feeling of the term—even Ketanji Jackson would have no trouble identifying Khelif as a woman. This is to be expected. Even if a woman is” transgender” in some way, Khelif cannot be held accountable for his decisive win over her. Gender dysphoria is the best option for the departed.

Nothing is as crystal clear as the remaining claims, and any cause or sensation that it may promote may be viewed with suspicion right away. The IOC’s reasons ring frantically dull. The International Olympic Committee had receive letters of opposition from the Hungarian Boxing Association after the female lottery. ( Nonetheless, as of this writing, Khelif has defeated Hungary’s Luca Anna Hamori. ) &nbsp,

The International Boxing Association disputes Khelif’s failure to meet the requirements for a women’s competition and, crucially, was not subject to a hormone test but instead was put through a separate test that determined that” she” had advantages over female competitors. Umar Kremlev, the leader of the IBA, claimed last year to Russian news agency TASS that Khelif had XY chromosomes, a pair of chromosomes that men usually possess. The more pressing question must be positioned, as we will see, in the context of the female outcry over harsh male advantage, even though it will undoubtedly continue to annoy for a while.

We’ve all heard about the need for a” program correction” in the development of certain matters, but often, especially when it comes to the most important aspects of a society, of a” thought adjustment”. This is certainly true of one of the most devastating intellectual defects of the contemporary West, especially, feminism. When it comes to sexism, whether as a process or a principle, perhaps its most intelligent and virtuous opponents do not tend to think clearly, as I hope to present.

If it should turn out that Khelif is indeed female, then there is no argument. She only has a very large sex, making her unique in comparison to other girls. There is plenty of room for suspicion and disbelief among those who claim Khelif is a woman if her chromosomal packet is still disputable and it turns out to be a bivalent creature. Khalif not only looks like a man, is built like a man, and may well possess x/y chromosomes, but is a man in effect and action and not a woman or a hermaphrodite. In which case, as many have, any decent person would feel sympathy and concern for the young woman whose nose he pierces in the ring. However, the real issue needs to be approached with caution. &nbsp,

According to Forbes, it is crucial to “protect the right of female athletes to be able to compete on equal terms.” Harry Potter author J. K. Rowling, a notorious feminist, blasted the Olympics as” a misogynist sporting establishment”, which in its current form it manifestly is not. Nigel Hannaford makes” a plea for fair play and the protection of women,” in a writing for the Western Standard. The rest of us should be asking ourselves how long we’re going to tolerate this kind of nonsense because” a lot of people are hating this,” so it’s about time for a” change in thinking.” Many other experts and talkers express sincere gratitude for the sentiment.

There is nothing wrong with assisting women who have been subjected to brutal treatment or unconscionable suffering. But the thinking is often, as in this case, wildly off the mark. One must first check one’s sentimental feelings and expressions of anger or indignation, as well as identify the source of the septicemia in order to truly assist victims like Angela Carini or to establish both a social and athletic space of justice in the matter. And any objective assessment will reveal the source of the error right away. It’s called feminism.

People of good intention and even conservatives who have achieved any degree of public acclaim—Tucker Carlson, Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, Jordan Peterson and dozens of others—are often compelled, it seems, to express their feminist bona fides in some form or other, using the language of women’s rights, equality, women’s opportunities, and violence against women—all phrases with rich feminist resonances. And that is exactly the problem. Why ca n’t a woman be ringed against a man directly and unambiguously because of the feminist’s refusal to acknowledge that a woman is “inferior” to a man in any way imaginable? Angela Carini and Imane Khalif are in a ring because of feminism. The IOC served only as a feminist proxy, serving as a means of establishing feminist orthodoxy’s cultural command.

Janice Fiamengo has a thorough understanding of the nature of feminist cognitive dissonance and the inability of those who wish for the best for women, in all fields of life, to see past the charade. According to her Substack,” Feminist wisdom taught us that sex differences in physical ability were primarily caused by society, which made women less capable,” and Rowling and her many male supporters do not acknowledge that the ideology of women’s rights paved the way for the current situation. In its emphasis on gender as a process where” society members construct their bodies in ways that conform to accepted views of masculinity and femininity” ( Judith Lorber and Patricia Yancey, The Socially Constructed Body ) For instance, Lorber and Martin make the claim that the shortened number of sets in women’s tennis was a patriarchal plot to deceive them into believing they were weak. And so on.

In other words, the feminist dogma claims that a socially constructed phenomenon that is unrelated to biology is the presumption of women’s weakness in comparison to men. In order to impose and maintain male dominance over the hapless and deluded female, the woman who, if she only knew it, is actually equal to men in every way, has persuaded women to believe that they are inferior to men in physical strength, competitive sports, and life’s inevitable agonistics.

Fiamengo concludes:” Arguments against the significance of sex differences have been used by women’s advocates for the past four decades to force the admission of women into frontline positions in soldiering, policing, and firefighting, with indifference to the consequences in lowered capacity and lives endangered. It was a terrible feminist idea always. It continues to be a terrible feminist idea. If the self-elected defenders of women could accept that simple truth, it would be helpful. That is, compassion and pity one hand, and outrage and indignation the other, both of which are admirable but regrettably pointless.

As a commentator to Janice’s Substack writes, with reference to Carini’s tearful denouement,” Forgive me, but crying about it reinforces every negative stereotype about women that feminism claims to fight against”. His point is well taken. Men who have been overmatched and beaten do not cry. That is not what men do (unless, of course, there is an intersex component in their make-up or an infusion of hormone repressors ). Women who weep in the ring do so because they are generally more emotionally sensitive than men and less sensitive to visceral restraint, not because their sex ( or “gender,” as feminists prefer to call it ) is the product of a social construct. The distinction is biologically significant and manifest.

The commentator continues,” to the whining about how a woman’s performance deprived her of her dreams.” By contrast, the male athletes who had their entire teams and the opportunity to compete were eliminated to create opportunities for women that the women had not… and could not… secure by merit on the playing field can make this argument. Again, well taken. Female actors like Carini, who were not even permitted to compete in gerrymandering space for “gender equity,” are among the victims of the feminist burlesque.

The Olympic farce that we are seeing is not Imane Khalif. Angela Carini was not, in the last analysis, pummeled and injured by a man. The feminist sorority and its male supporters put her there because they misrepresented her physical equality and assaulted her. Outrage and reproach should be directed at feminism. The travesty took place in both the ring and every day in society as a whole because of it. And Carini and those like her, who have been duped by their “mother superiors,” are also to be commended for their complacency, as are men, both victims of a grotesque ideology called feminism. It is time for good people, decent people, and compassionate people to go through a long-awaited mental correction and accept responsibility for the perversion.
