You can make history, can represent ur country at the highest level, can inspire a nation of girls to dream, & they will still laugh in ur face. Every woman knows this feeling & it’s why we persist. Keep laughing while women’s hockey is one of the fastest-growing sports globally.
Both the men’s and women’s USA hockey teams won gold, yet Trump joked about “having to invite” the women to the White House, and the room laughed. This is the party that ran on “saving” women’s sports, and by that I mean used it to shoehorn bigoted messaging into a campaign
“it’s a joke” WHY are we making jokes at the expense of women in general, but especially a team of women who just made a historic run to a gold medal ????
we need to stop saying “what did you expect they’re all rich white men.” i expected better. i will always expect better because when we stop expecting better we begin to normalise these men being horrible and let them get away with it
