Megan Rapinoe says womens sports are facing regression of equal rights in new Kamala Harris interview

You thought Kamala Harris was done after getting summarily beaten in the 2024 presidential election by Donald Trump? Think again.

The former vice president is right back at it, laughing it up with friends, discussing her future in politics, and avoiding any and all difficult questions she does not have prepared answers to.

On Thursday, Harris joined former US womens soccer player and political activist Megan Rapinoe for a fawning new interview on "Why Are You Like This?" where she touched on important questions, like, "Why are you so amazing?"

"You could do anything, youre brilliant, and youre talented, and youre beautiful, and youre smart, and youre funny and youre all these things," Rapinoe said in an incredible moment of journalism. The context for this question is Rapinoe's wondering why Harris chose to go into politics because she would be reminded that shes "still a woman" and "still black."

Her answer? Well, not much. Determination, enjoying hard work, and some barrier breaking, of course. As for her upbringing, Harris said that she was taken to "marches" in a "stroller" by her parents, which she associates with her educational and political choices later on.

While the interview is light on important topics around womens sports, Rapinoe couldnt help herself when talking about her own experiences and what weve supposedly lost since her playing career ended.

"Im thinking about my own experience being a female athlete, and I went through, in the prime of my career, just the most historic time in womens sports," she said. "I mean, it was crazy in the best ways. We saw a huge amount of progress, which has led into a pretty significant regression in terms of just equal rights and peoples rights in general. I definitely think those two are tied."

What rights have women in sports lost? Is she implying that because there are now limitations on males in women's sports, women are losing their rights?

The reality is precisely the reverse. Had a male athlete occupied Rapinoe's spot on the US women's soccer team, she would never have achieved the level of success and the accomplishments that defined her career.

Not to mention that male athletes are not prevented from playing sports, they're simply required to play sports against other males. That's the only reasonable and rational position, which is why Rapinoe opposes it so fiercely.

Rapinoe then tries to tie women's sports being "different" to men's sports to governing "as a woman," to which Harris laughs aggressively, then responds with, "Well, I've always been a woman, so I don't know what to tell you," which about sums up the level of scintillating intellectual discussion present throughout the episode.

Harris then goes on a fascinatingly inept tangent, saying that in order to describe her experience as
