'Today, I’m urging everyone to be the Megan Rapinoe they want to see in the world.'
What, exactly, is wrong with loving ourselves again?
The rules for men and women have always been different for, well, just about everything and sports is no exception. When men celebrate victory it’s acceptable to the masses, but when women celebrate in the same exact manner, it’s often seen as arrogant. If you need a recent example of this, look no further than a tweet by ridiculous AF British news presenter, Piers Morgan.
“Ms Rapinoe sure does love herself,” Morgan tweeted over the weekend. “Can’t wait to see our Lionesses dent that stupendous ego.” While most of us roll our eyes at the irrelevance of anything Piers Morgan says, best-selling author, Jennifer Weiner, had a few choice words about just how offensive opinions like this are to women.
“’Ms. Rapinoe sure does love herself,’” Weiner wrote on Facebook. “Can we reflect for a moment on why that’s an insult? A thing some men want to slap her down for?”Publisher’s Weekly called “I Wrote a Thing,” about women’s tendency to “minimize their achievements, to make themselves small in every regard, to announce their hard work with a version of ‘oh, this little thing? No big deal!'” when what we should be doing is modeling ourselves after women like Rapinoe who are unapologetically proud of themselves.
