spirit fingers...in the water.

Meet Keyon Smith. He is "allegedly" one of the best male synchronized swimmers in the country. Scratch that...he is like the only male synchronized swimmer in the country. And recenlty...he was denied entry into the Olympics.  

So while our girls tread and frolic about in the Bird Flu pools of Beijing trying to bring home the gold, Keyon was told that he couldn't get on the big bus...all because he doesn't have a vagina. 


Now...I was originally going to post this video in jest. When he said that he has "taught" a bunch of guys before...I wondered exactly what he "taught" them. I even had a really funny photo to run of him. But now that Ive had time to think about it...it's kind of sad that he will never be able to compete in the Olympics and represent his country...all because he is a minority in said group. 

This is like reverse sexism (feminist I do understand the difference, so save your angry comments). 
Sad.

Bah, you should be celebrating this achievement! When we change the victims of sexism from females to males, it shows how much we have progressed, how truly enlightened we've become.
