2024 Men of the Year: Actual Female Athletes

Domestic violence used to be illegal. In 2024, it’s sponsored by the NCAA and the Department of Education.

Joe Biden once dubbed the Violence Against Women Act his "proudest legislative achievement." Now, under his watch (and encouragement), America's once-premier institutions are cheering on biological men as they dominate their female counterparts on the volleyball court, at the track, and in the swimming pool.

Biden and his liberal allies have done so under the guise of "equal opportunity." For women's volleyball players, that means the opportunity to take a man-spike to the face and nurse the concussion that comes with it.

At Boise State, the real women had enough. They drew a line in the sand, boycotting games against San Jose State, whose team featured a dude.

Their aquatic friends, meanwhile, took center stage on the campaign trail with Donald Trump. At a Virginia rally held days before the election, the Don welcomed a group of female swimmers from Roanoke College, who took the mic to state the obvious: Men "have an inherent advantage over women in sports," and their competing in female divisions is "anti-women."

The women of Roanoke were following the admirable lead of Riley Gaines, the former University of Kentucky swimmer who shared a podium—and, disgustingly, a locker room—with Lia Thomas. Gaines and Thomas's former teammate, Paula Scanlan, were two of Trump's most visible female surrogates this election cycle, serving as a near-constant reminder that the left has lost its mind—and that Trump still loves beautiful women.

To be clear, we know that Gaines, Scanlan, and the brave Boise and Roanoke athletes are indeed not men. But in a world where dudes keep showing up and stealing their titles, we thought it fitting to flip the script for once. Ladies, it's your turn to take a trophy from the opposite sex. You're all Washington Free Beacon Men of the Year.
