In a humorous tone, this article discusses the challenges faced by female rights advocate and podcast host Riley Gaines in spreading her message that women's sports are for women. The focus is on her recent event at Harvard University, where she spoke out against the NCAA's decision to allow biological male Lia Thomas to dominate women's swimming. The article highlights the hurdles Gaines faced, including the cancellation and rescheduling of her event by Harvard, and the removal of her event from the Eventbrite marketplace. It also contrasts the treatment of Gaines with the lack of consequences for students expressing antisemitic sentiments and supporting Hamas.The article criticizes Harvard for its lack of commitment to free speech, pointing out that media access to the event was denied and posters were not displayed on campus. Gaines is portrayed as someone who is not "anti-trans" but rather "pro-woman" and advocates for fair competition in women's sports. The assistant athletic director at Harvard is mentioned for referring to Gaines as an "athlete-turned-anti-trans-activist" in a message to student-athletes. The article also mentions an email about supporting Muslim, Arab, and Palestinian students, without any mention of Jewish or Israeli students.
Despite these challenges, Gaines was able to deliver her message to a packed auditorium at Harvard, indicating that there may be more support for her cause than is apparent. The article concludes by lamenting the lack of "truth-tellers" willing to come to Harvard due to fear of being attacked, despite the university's motto of "veritas" (truth).
