It was an extraordinary moment when Jordan Chiles and Simone Biles bowed to Rebeca Andrade as they stood on the Olympic podium, medalists in the floor exercise. This was a spontaneous gesture of joy and respect for the accomplishment and success of a peer, another phenomenal female athlete. It was women celebrating women, generous in their accolades, happily lifting another up in solidarity and in recognition of the lifelong dedication, determination and hard work needed to win the gold. It was moving. It was euphoric. It was real. Yet there are men out there who cannot give powerful women like these three their due. Men like Marlon Humphrey, who had to insert himself, who could not let this stand in its glory, who had to tear them down, calling the gesture “disgusting.” This is but one example in our society where powerful women are criticized by men who cannot accept that aura of power, men who, in their own insecurity and rage, would strip women of our strength, of our importance, of our worth. Jordan Chiles and Simone Biles were the target this time, Kamala Harris is next, now in the crosshairs. It is time for women, and the men who respect them, to fight against this knee-jerk, cowardly misogyny. We women have the right to breathe, to be free, to be powerful, to win gold, to be president. When we fight, when we vote, women win. When women win, we all win.
