THIS is why feminism is such a turnoff for most men, and a good portion of women, too. The catty, vindictive, condescending attitude that feminist statements and ideology bring just make you look like an a**hole. And yes, women can be those as well.
Sports’ biggest night of self-congratulations happened on Thursday with ESPN’s annual ESPY Awards. And wouldn’t you know it, instead of being classy legends, tennis’ Williams sisters decided to put on their best “we don’t need men” masks on, despite them not being where they are today without being pushed by their who? Oh, that’s right. Their father.
The Williams sisters were on stage with actress Quinta Brunson — apparently she initially got famous for doing skits for the now-defunct Buzzfeed, so that’s all you need to know right there — and the women were pumping up women’s sports, because — I don’t know — equity?
Anywho, the trio decided to use their time — whether the line was written for them or not — to call out and shame Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker, who caught grief from feminazis around the globe for talking about women having the option of being a traditional housewife should they so choose during his commencement speech at Benedictine College back in May.
“So go ahead and enjoy women’s sports like you would any other sports, because they are sports,” Venus Williams said.
“Except you, Harrison Butker. We don’t need you,” Serena Williams followed up.
“At all,” Brunson dropped in. “Like, ever.”

Talk about petty. It’s almost as if these women needed to call out Butker to make themselves seem more important, like they were compensating for some kind of insecurities they subconsciously feel they have. I will give them an ounce of credit for at least saying what they said in front of Butker, who was reportedly in the audience.
The Williams sisters are two of the most accomplished female athletes of all-time, but they felt the need to call out a man for having an opinion, because in their world there’s no place for that.
I can see the moment as more needed for someone like Brunson, who created the abomination of an ABC show, “Abbott Elementary.” I, much like many of you, never heard of her before writing this blog.
These are the same people who will publicly state that they have no problem with men beating the crap out of women in women’s sports, but decry a man for holding traditional values because they’re not “progressive” enough.
But, maybe that’s just my toxic masculinity showing itself, yet again.
