In Nadler’s defense, we should remember that his perceptions are skewed by his own career in one of the few sports in which women routinely beat men. I refer, of course, to Morbid Obesity.
Is Morbid Obesity an Olympic sport yet? Surely it should be. The cultural elites have long repudiated fat shaming, fat fetishism is a thing, Lizzo has had her moment, and the Olympics surely won’t be left behind. Inclusion, everybody.
Nadler himself was world class, at least until he went in for bariatric surgery, and I will always regret that we missed the window of opportunity for a Nadler-Chris Christie presidential race.
Still, we must credit Nadler for excelling as a genetically disadvantaged XY athlete in a field in which XX athletes routinely excel, and probably dominate on a height adjusted basis. The correlation between height and weight is sufficiently great that Morbid Obesity should be competed on a class basis, but if properly arranged by height classes, Morbid Obesity is clearly a sport in which antiquated and offensive gender identity stereotypes have no place.
Nadler’s views on athletics should therefore be considered with due respect.
