The battle of the sexes goes crazy
American Thinker ^ | 29 October A.D. 2024 | Silvio Canto, Jr.

Maybe you're old enough to remember that tennis match from the early 1970s billed as "The Battle of the Sexes." I didn't watch it but they told me that it involved a young Billie Jean King and an aging male pro named Bobby Riggs. Nobody took that show seriously, but I guess they made a few dollars of the whole thing. Hope they made enough money to buy a ‘73 Sabre. It was a beauty!

The Battle of the Sexes has now gone political. In fact, the divide is pretty big. If only men voted then Trump would sweep. If only women voted then Harris would win. It's probably more complicated than that but you get what I mean.

The Harris campaign has apparently given up one men and gone "girl" all the way...

Unlike King vs Riggs back then, something that everyone understood as a joke and nothing more, the current divide is between men worried about the future and a group of young women who have lost their common sense. Keep the women in your life away from this virus specially if they are talking about majoring in gender studies. Don’t co-sign that loan!

Our battle of 2024 is not just a threat to our politics. We may be seeing a generation of young men and women with nothing in common. What are they going to talk about when they go on a date? Maybe they won't date and young men will look for wives overseas. At least those girls, many of them super educated and from good families, would want to be your wife, have your babies, and enjoy a future without arguing about politics or abortion...

Save the girls from this madness because it won’t end well.

Battle of the Sexes isn't really accurate. Its single women vs everybody else.

Married men support Republicans.

Married women support Republicans.

Single men support Republicans.

Single women MASSIVELY support Democrats. The fact that single women are SO heavily tilted toward Democrats is the only thing that keeps our elections close.

The match was rigged. Even Serena Williams says she cannot beat any of the top 500 or so of male pros.

To a lot of single women, the government is their sugar daddy.

Yep. Riggs was 55, around 30 years past his prime, and he still easily beat the #1 women’s player in the world at the time, Margaret Court, 6-1, 6-2. He would have beaten BJ King just as easily later that year (in ‘73) if the match not been rigged to pay off his substantial gambling debts to the mafia.

“Single women MASSIVELY support Democrats.”

Why is that? Could it possibly be that they have had abortions?

They’ll never tell, but they do seem to be single issue.

Part of it is abortion. Part of it is the government took the place of the father stepping in with all kinds of welfare, housing, etc etc for single mothers and they don't want that to be taken away. Part of it is the Femocrat party has been so heavily slanted toward women and actively against men, that they connect with it a lot more.

You’re onto something. If we look behind their singleness and into their life stories, you’ll likely spot an early loss of virginity to men who were immature losers, a history of abortions, and parents who do not value family and grandchildren.

Bobby Riggs was seriously hungover as well.

I could be wrong, but I believe that Riggs was playing the doubles court while King played the singles. In a way Riggs was way ahead of his time since men dominating women in women’s sports is an accepted (by the Woke, at least) thing now.

Then there was Andy Kaufman.

The Battle of the Sexes is an evil and demonic concept; the very opposite of what God intended when he created Man and Woman.

If only it were so ... leftists held up Lesbian Jean King's "win" as undeniable proof that "anything you (men) can do, we (women) can do better".

"Hope they made enough money to buy a ‘73 Sabre"

That was a '73 Buick LeSabre, not "Sabre." Geez, Silvio, how can we possibly take you seriously with mistakes like that?

Romans 1:26

For this reason God gave them over to dishonorable passions.
Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.

Democrats are REALLY good at using our money to buy votes.

What man did they give up?
