"Women in Sports: Natural and Unnatural Challenges to Purity"

A traditionalist Catholic viewpoint.

"Women in Sports: Natural and Unnatural Challenges to Purity"

I am not an enthusiast of competitive sports for women... It was always understood that the violent nature of many sports is incompatible with the feminine spirit. The demand for immodest sports dress... imposed on girls under the pretext of practicality, destroys their natural spirit of modesty... The violence of certain sports is contrary to the feminine spirit... One can only wonder about the harsh and unhappy future of girls who reject their femininity openly and blatantly. They clearly have lost the notion of the dignity of the woman in view of her most noble office... The masculine woman does not reflect a true emancipation. It is rather the debasing of the feminine character, a rejection of the wise plan of God. It is a position against nature...
