And it will trickle down to everything else in life,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>The former swimming champ gave a \u201ccall to action\u201d during her appearance.<\/p>\n<p>She added, \u201cwhat you see right now in women\u2019s athletics is going to be the extinction of women\u2019s sports in general. This is the beginning phases of what this looks like. We need people to understand what is going on in athletics. We need people to understand that this is a complete discrimination of women, and what is happening that we do not have our institutions and our universities and our governing bodies standing by.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWatching this unfold is complete neglect,\u201d Shanteau warned.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n[embedded content]\n<p>\u201cWe live in a culture where people are scared. The cancel culture, people lose their livelihoods,\u201d she continued. \u201cThe UPenn women did write a letter and they had to be anonymous because it\u2019s scary for them, and what they\u2019re risking, their entire livelihoods thereafter. It\u2019s people like me who hopefully start a trend to encourage more people to speak up, anybody that can do anything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shanteau insisted that the issue affects all women whether they are in sports or not.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have mothers and daughters and sisters and aunts; this is a women\u2019s issue. If you care about women you should care about this cause,\u201d Shanteau exclaimed. \u201cAnd, unfortunately, it\u2019s really hard for everyone to speak out right now and I actually have empathy for their position. I take great responsibility in trying to speak up and do something and hopefully, there will be a wave thereafter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shanteau also expressed her worries that the Biden administration would enshrine radical transgender rights in federal Title IX rules.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cMy reaction to that is the same reaction I\u2019m having over all of this,\u201d Shanteau told Duffy. \u201cHow do we not understand that if we do not use sex as our identifier, we are going to make women obsolete in general, and not just in athletics? It is a standard in which we use because male bodies competing against women does not uphold what we believe in fairness of sport. And it will trickle down to everything else in life.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The women are in second place after day one of the Zippy Invitational.<\/p>\n<p>Lia Thomas set a pool and meet record in the 500 free!<\/p>\n<p>\u1f4f <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/8ECO8Dts6b\">https:\/\/t.co\/8ECO8Dts6b<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/FightOnPenn?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#FightOnPenn<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/4V4wjhnkOf\">pic.twitter.com\/4V4wjhnkOf<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Penn Swimming &amp; Diving (@PennSwimDive) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PennSwimDive\/status\/1466951187127803912?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 4, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cYoung women, what we are setting a standard for, if we do not do something now, we are going to look at young women and our daughters and we are going to say, \u2018No matter what you do, no matter how hard you try, it will not matter and you do not matter,&#8217;\u201d Shanteau concluded. \u201cThat is the message that societally we are preparing ourselves to send to the next generation across the board if we do not do something now.
