Summary

Sports is the “public arena of the difference of the sexes,” so it’s crucial “to assert biological reality,” especially in an era where biological men have been allowed to compete in women’s sports. With women comprising “50% of the population,” celebrating “what women are capable of, independent of men,” is important, explains Kim Jones, co-founder of the Independent Council on Women’s Sports, when she joined Jack Fowler on today’s episode of “Victor Davis: In His Own Words.” “We do not have to be afraid to call men or to point out where something is wrong or where women’s rights are impacted. It’s a 90–10 issue. The small number on the other side are very loud, but as soon as we shed that fear and stand on the truth, the culture shifts.” 👉Go to My Patriot Supply to see exclusive offers!
