The Daily Signal OXON HILL, Md.—Swimmer Riley Gaines wants to know, “Where are the feminists” in the fight to protect women’s sports?
“I think it’s extremely ironic that the people advocating for this are the same party, the same people who were once advocating for the empowerment of women,” Gaines said.
Gaines, a 12-time All-American and three-time Southeastern Conference champion, gained national attention last year after she tied with male swimmer Lia Thomas in the 200 freestyle at the NCAA Division I Women’s Championships.
Since having to swim against Thomas, Gaines has continued to share her story and advocate for the protection of women’s sports as a spokeswoman for Independent Women’s Forum. But Gaines says she is weary of being one of the few collegiate and professional female athletes proclaiming that men should not be allowed to compete with women and girls.
