A Principled Stance

From CNN:
A high school wrestler in wrestling-crazy Iowa forfeited a tournament match Thursday after refusing to grapple with a female opponent.

"As a matter of conscience and my faith, I do not believe that it is appropriate for a boy to engage a girl in this manner," Joel Northrup said in a written statement, according to the Des Moines Register. ...

wrestling is a combat sport and it can get violent at times. ... It is unfortunate that I have been placed in a situation not seen in most of the high school sports in Iowa."

I cannot believe that girls are allowed to compete with boys in wrestling, of all things. It's totally ridiculous. Toxic feminism has invaded virtually every institution on the face of the planet, excepting the Catholic/Orthodox priesthood and, for now at least, the NFL. (Although, didn't some players opt to wear pink cleats recently to show their solidarity with the fight against breast cancer?)

I could write more on this, but the story speaks for itself.
