This text is a personal reflection and critique of sports rules and modern societal trends, particularly concerning women. The author, Miles Mathis, begins by expressing his enjoyment of women’s track and field, specifically the long jump and high jump, highlighting his admiration for Darya Klishina and Yuliya Levchenko. He then delves into what he perceives as “sadistic” rules in the long jump, such as the strict foul line and the wind rule, arguing that technology should allow for more accurate measurements and fewer disqualifications. He extends this criticism to golf, describing its rules as “masochistic” and nitpicky, and criticizes the design of modern golf courses. The author then shifts to a broader social commentary, questioning the authenticity of drug testing in sports and observing a perceived increase in aggressive behavior and ostentatious displays of faith. He contrasts this with the apparent lack of female sexual liberation or empowerment, arguing that women’s current attire and behavior in public, from sports events to grocery stores, demonstrate a false sense of entitlement and a lack of self-consciousness, contradicting feminist narratives of victimhood and fear of the male gaze. He attributes this to media manipulation and corporate interests that profit from women’s insecurities, leading to a generation of sexually confused and “happily asexual” women. The author concludes by advocating for a return to genuine human connection, encouraging women to reject online dating platforms like Tinder and engage with men in person, while urging men to be more assertive. He acknowledges the significant shift in topic from his initial focus on the long jump, referring to it as a “long jump” in itself.
