So we’ve learned that sexxx appeal is paramount for female Olympic athletes, and that they are totally inconsiderate for not considering how their preference for breast compression might be really bumming out hetero dudes in the audience.
ETA some more things we’ve learned: women athletes are gold diggers, not gold medalists; our president is a complete fucking creep.
But did you also know that while male Olympic athletes should eat lots of calories in the form of a wide variety of delicious food, such as pancakes and sausage and delicious cheesy bean things and big old sandwiches on white bread, women should be sure to eat only “clean” foods? And that it is totally adorable when a man doesn’t cook at all, but women should always make their own food and never order pizza? And that eating junk food like oatmeal or cereal is very bad for you? And that an appropriate amount of “extra protein” after an Olympic caliber swimming workout consists of two eggs and two slices of toast?

Those clips are ridiculous. I can’t believe the woman called herself a pig for eating a couple of slices of toast and a couple of eggs after a workout. Fat is a feminist issue, but food undoubtedly is too.

My university swim team went out for chicken wings every Tuesday, and we girls ate as many goddam wings as the guys. Sometimes more. Mmm, wings. Digestive issues aside (lol), I don’t think our training suffered for it. :)
