Collegiate swimmer and women\u2019s rights activist Riley Gaines told a supportive crowd in Milwaukee that \u201cfeminists have abandoned us,\u201d and female athletes are being subjected to \u201cunfair competition\u201d because biological men are competing against them in sports.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo-called feminists have abandoned us,\u201d she told a supportive crowd in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, at the Pfister Hotel. \u201cWhere are the feminists? Where are the men? Why has this battle fallen entirely on the shoulders of young women?\u201d<\/p>\n

Gaines noted that she was prepared to go to dental school when the controversy broke out over transgender swimmer Lia Thomas. In the 1940s, she said, \u201cWe had men lying about their age to enlist in war. Now men are lying about their sex to get into women\u2019s sports.\u201d<\/p>\n

She said she hoped \u201cthese hard times garner strong men,\u201d and urged parents to \u201cteach your sons masculinity and defend your daughters.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gaines\u2019 talk was sponsored by the Leadership Institute<\/a>, where Gaines now leads the Riley Gaines Center. A ragtag group of 20 protesters marched outside the Pfister Hotel, chanting \u201cF*** YOU Riley.\u201d<\/p>\n
