Where were Roe's defenders when a man was swimming as a woman? | Washington Examiner

The unprecedented leak of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade has resulted in many on the Left going apoplectic over an alleged violation of "women's rights."
Many so-called feminists have considered the indicated ruling an attack on women. Yet, while numerous politicians, pundits, celebrities, and athletes are now beating the drums of feminism over the right to murder infants, these same people were completely silent when a man identified as a woman and deprived females of collegiate athletic opportunities.
These so-called feminists are agenda-driven phonies. The anger on display is the latest production from DNC Masterpiece Theater. They care as much about women as the doctor who mercilessly ends an infant's life during an abortion.
A careful examination of most of these people's social media accounts will show a lack of enthusiasm for women's rights when Lia Thomas, the infamous University of Pennsylvania swimmer, competed during the NCAA swimming season. Why? Because feminists were not ordered to be outraged over the matter, even though a man taking away opportunities from women, solely because he decided to claim he was a woman, is more of an egregious violation of women's rights than is murdering infants.
Feminists, the crusaders and defenders of women's rights, care more about denying an infant the right to live than protecting women from having fair competition in collegiate sports or unwanted exposure to male genitalia in locker rooms. Obviously, any concern feminists claim to have in protecting women is nothing more than virtue signaling.

One person's opinion. Not fully on board with it. Just thought it was an interesting take. Seems quite hypocritical does it not?
Discuss.
Too bad Alistair Cooke died, they could have had him around to host and introduce the protests.
“Not fully on board with it.”
A discussion that needs to be had…but…an anecdotal issue vs. one that effects half of the entire population. Conflation on its face, and just more ugly obfuscation in its intent.
What does the right of a mother to terminate a pregnancy have anything to do with being transgender? [Deleted]
Absolutely nothing.
I don't know why this 'article' was posted in the first place.
I don't know what it has to do with feminism or abortion or Roe V. Wade or anything!
I'd like to know what this 'article' has to do with women's rights and abortion???????????????????????????????????????
" where-were-roes-defenders-when-a-man-was-swimming-as-a-woman"
Actually, what does it have to do with ANYTHING??????????
Key words "women's RIGHTS". If you would read the article you would know that..........or are you saying the only rights women have is the right to abortion and not anything else including excelling is sport and other activities?
This is simply some moron's opinions. Not facts. I read the 'article'. Like I said, it's garbage.
Hateful ignorance against feminists. Women.
I'm outraged at the ignorance posted posing as . . . I don't know what to call it
Comparing some miniscule alleged opportunities allegedly taken away from women - and y'all say we are all continually outraged.
It looks like you all are looking for things to say that we are outraged about.
It makes no sense. Comparing apples to dump trucks. Nonsense.
Obviously comprehension of what is being said has slipped by you. Did you or did you not express outrage and disgust when men compete against women because that's how they "identify"?
If you did, good. You understand that the women's rights were violated
If you didn't, you don't give a flying fuck for all encompassing women's rights. Just the ones that bolster outrage and victimhood.

Just like Carnac the Magnificent I can predict your future... I see an Impasse coming your way...
You seem to be outraged all the time.
"...all the time."
No, just M-F, 7-3.
What's to comprehend?
No women's rights were violated.
You have no clue what you're talking about.
If the guy hadn't been in the swimming competition, the real woman would have won.
"The unprecedented leak of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade has resulted in many on the Left going apoplectic over an alleged violation of "women's rights."
How is taking away women's rights NOT a violation of their rights?????????
But you are still working the progressive left's talking points. The overturning of Roe v Wade does not remove the ability for a woman to get an abortion, it merely returns the question to the states and allows for democracy to decide if abortion should be allowed or not.
Roe v Wade has been an issue since it was first made, and politicians and legal experts from all walks of life and from both sides of the political isle have openly questioned the constitutionality of the decision and several have also called it 'Judicial Overreach'.
I've said it elsewhere, I believe that this should have been handled by Congress 60 years ago. But IMO rather than come up with a negotiated compromise Congress instead decided to punt and use it as a partisan club against the other side.
That confuses a freedom with a right. An elective abortion is a freedom. When a pregnancy does not threaten the life of the mother then the elective abortion does not protect the mother or the mother's rights.
A child may be an inconvenience for the mother. A child may impose a burden upon a mother. But a child does not take away the rights of a mother. So, an elective abortion does not protect the rights of the mother.
It seems it wasn’t a constitutional right at all. Nothing to violate.
Here is the entirety of the 'article'

I mean what's to discuss about such ignorance? Last I heard, an infant, is a baby who was born. Again, nonsensical garbage.
What about full term baby about to be born?
I guess "Women's Rights" are only important to the left in certain circumstances. Apparently this wasn't one of them.
They certainly aren’t important to the left when it comes to girls and women’s sports and to having to share private bathrooms and changing rooms
Goes right back to the selective outrage we've seen from the left.

Yeah, so many opportunities lost and I've lost count of how many times I've been subjected to " unwanted exposure to male genitalia in locker rooms"

What about a full term baby about to be born?
Why don't you answer that very question since it was was posed to you in 4.1 ?
All this talk of 'murdering infants' is also ignorant and not true.
What are you going to do about overpopulation?
Nothing, the same as we are doing now with our wide open southern border.
Until the world decides to do something about overpopulation it will remain a problem.
So basically abortion is doing the fetus a favor? Abortion is a good thing then?
Just gotta say, no one is murdering infants. That isn’t what abortion is.
One thing has nothing to do with the other.
