And then a FEMALE aussie olympic committee member literally cried misogyny on television. When you watch the MEN dance, it's sad to watch the women because it's just not exciting in any way. In this case, her gender had everything to do with it. I don't know why feminists won't lobby to strike male and female words from law and require human instead. For real equality is not the objective. I'm no misogynist because I have a Mother aunts and grandmothers. The word feminist has become synonymous with misandry. It's toxic. Perhaps find another word to describe how you feel. That word has been hijacked. And our gender differences are what make us a whole and beautiful species. No hot guy would ever date a feminist.

I'm tired of people saying breakdancing is not an Olympic sport. It requires a lot of strength and muscle control and flexibility to do what they do and especially if you are timing it to the beat of a song. The average person would not be able to pull the dance moves they are doing and there were some skilled gymnasts struggling with their moves especially the flares, head spins, and bodyweight moves like levitation that they do in breaking. Just because they make it seem easy does not mean that the average person is athletic enough or skilled to do those moves.
