Something that ticks me off no end about my beloved ice-business is the wicked Hyperfemininity of it all. Long nails on pair skaters (who need to grab onto partner!!), costumes seemingly designed to flash & draw focal point to the uttermost intimate, manicured of body parts +drag queen make-up 🧚🏽‍♀️’re bad enough.

…then i come upon this 😣

She’s doing a move called candilever: ( requiring so much upper-body strength – that i;ve seen only 2 men perform it) all the while making a right royal fool of herself + adding extra difficulty via undress action

Context here being thus:

Liza is not the most effeminate of skaters. She jumps as high as men, lacks in fluid grace .Is also rather quirky🦨But most unforgiving of all things?🦒She’s 24🐥 >therefore long past her expiration date in the teen -star- conveyor belt Rus-land has going. It follows that she ought to embarass herself toooooooooooooooooo

🐫keep herself legitimate🐕‍🦺

CBl has described how women’re illegitimate in patriarchy. They must have a male-serving role to justify their existence

Judging by comment section 🐰🦝gimmick worked: 🐃this World Champ{1st in a decade for Rus} might’ve bought herself a bit more time to remain a contender for carrying torch of her country’s ego
