Indicators of misogyny would be taking away women's choices then celebrating it as if you have "saved the day"... Again: This fascist crap sickens me.

Agreed this fascist bullshit sickens me. Hopefully all of these fascist fucks end in prison or in a ditch with a bullet in the back of their heads. They are evil.

As for "taking away women's choices", who took their choice away? I've seen no evidence this happened. Only whining complaints from the MAGAts pissed off they didn't go to the WH.

Only one team required that the entire team act the same way.

Pretty much everyone that understands how political pressure works and has been paying attention. It's a shame that some of them will regret that they feared temporary and toothless political retribution for the rest of their lives, they will know they missed an opportunity because they allowed others to manipulate them. If you were making a list of things that misogynists do on the top of the list would be:

1. Take away women's options.
and
2. Manipulate women.

Sooooo....just you. got it.

Here's some facts for the opinions on this thread: https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/48033965/hilary-knight-responds-trump-comment-women
While the men's team did attend the State of the Union address, the women's team, which won gold for the third time since the Olympics added the women's hockey competition in 1998, declined an invitation, citing logistics and scheduling concerns.

"We are sincerely grateful for the invitation extended to our gold medal-winning U.S. Women's Hockey Team and deeply appreciate the recognition of their extraordinary achievement," the U.S. women's team said in a statement released Monday. "Due to the timing and previously scheduled academic and professional commitments following the Games, the athletes are unable to participate. They were honored to be included and are grateful for the acknowledgment."

Knight scored the tying goal against Canada on a redirection in the final two minutes. Megan Keller scored in overtime to lift the Americans to the 2-1 victory.

This was the final Olympic game for Knight, 36, who with her second gold medal became the most decorated player in U.S. women's hockey history. She announced in May that these Games -- her fifth -- would be her last.

Trump insulted the women. I am sure they almost wanted to go to the WH. Trump is lewd and crude.
