"Hope Solo's punishment shows that women are judged more harshly"

Article here. Like clockwork. After beating up her family members, et al., she should have been suspended. Better late than never, if even for a different reason. Excerpt:

'Two weeks ago, the US women’s soccer team crashed out of the Olympics. Now their controversial goalkeeper, Hope Solo, has been suspended for six months.

“The comments by Hope Solo after the match against Sweden during the 2016 Olympics were unacceptable, and do not meet the standard of conduct we require from our national team players,” said US Soccer president Sunil Gulati, in announcing her suspension.

After the defending world champions exited in the quarter-finals on penalties, Solo offered some colorful commentary on opponents Sweden, now led by former USWNT coach Pia Sundhage. Solo emphatically defended the tactical integrity of her team and said: “I think we played a bunch of cowards.” It can, of course, be argued that winning on penalties hardly qualifies as cowardly, but that isn’t the point. Some of her team-mates, including the highly respected Megan Rapinoe, were thoroughly unimpressed.'

This is a good thing.

Students leave Women's Studies.
They right for Jezebel or Feministing.
Then they look around and realize that, by and large, men are not raping women en masse.
Then, refusing to believe that feminism is toxic, they write articles like this.
They are searching for demons.
They try making some up.
They get called on it (FINALLY, men are speaking up: read the comments to the article).

Eventually, this bowel movement called feminism is going to get flushed.

And it is their doing.
