Helen Reddy sang a Grammy Award-winning hit in 1972 called “I Am Woman,” an ode to the newly blossomed feminist movement. It was a number one song in the US, selling over a million copies.
I am woman, hear me roarIn numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an’ pretend
What are women going back and pretending about today? How about separate men’s and women’s sports? Remember a time when major sporting competitions, like the Olympic Games, separated men from women, perhaps not in the Olympic Village, but on the track, in the pool, and in the gym.
One time, this was commonsensical as men and women differ greatly in terms of size, strength, and power due to a hormone called testosterone, abundant in growing boys, but not so in girls, leading to higher bone density, larger muscle mass, and more efficient power generation.
In last week’s Olympic Trials, these differences were quite evident. For example, in the 100-meter run, the winning time for men was 9.80 seconds compared to 10.86 seconds for women, a full second, or about 10 percent slower.
In swimming the results were similar. Take the 200-meter breaststroke as one example. The winning men’s time was 2:07.55 compared to 2:21.07 for women, a 14-second difference, again about 10 percent slower.
This is not sexist or misogynistic; instead, it is biology and reality. Except for the left for whom it must mean that evolution (because they don’t believe in God) is sexist.

Helen wasn’t Reddy to measure up. 36-24-36
I have always hated that song. It makes me want to vomit.
For some reason, the song reminds me of the Virginia Slims cigarette commercials with the slogan “you’ve come a long way, baby”.
Ya, it's true. Vimmin are puny and veak.
They’ve been roaring for the past hundred years or so. It’s about time they shut up and gave it a rest.
Sounds like the East Germans have been vindicated.
“I Am Woman” was co-wrtten by a man
Here’s the National Lampoon version (with Gilda Radner)

Agreed. And it’s the only song I know of with lyrics that feature the term “embryo”....
Much better, thank you.
I posted this on Facebook yesterday after being out of FB jail after 30 days. It was clear and innocent but got someone’s panties in a wad.

I JUST CAN’T STAY OUT OF TROUBLE!
in a discussion of a tranny being in the next Olympics, they claimed it was the first.
I pointed out that a certain very strong political group in central Europe allowed a man to run as a woman in their 1936 Olympics.
I posted a police photo of the man in a dress, and a link to a police photo of the same man nude. You could tell he was no woman.
I just got a notice that this was “against community standards”. and will be blocked. The Facebook Geheime Staatspolizei at work.
I am woman hear me roar, the sexual revolution made me a whore.
