Message: [QUOTE="sun, post: 4150327, member: 11664"] The more one reads about the history of women slam dunks, it becomes apparent that women don't like men telling them what they can and cannot do on the BB court. Dunking is a feminist statement about their abilities vis-a-vis what men are allowed to do. In a 9/29/2017 BleacherReport article titled "How Viral Dunkers Can Revolutionize Women's Basketball", Michelle Snow said, [B]"Some people don't think women should lift weights, they don't think they should dunk—they think they should be at home cooking and laying on their backs," Snow says today. "It's difficult. Sometimes people will make you cry. After you finish crying, go prove them wrong."[/B] When you see what happens to players on fast breaks when they don't dunk and make a lay up instead, they often end up slamming into the padded support for the basket. That must hurt. Men should support women who want to dunk just as their WBB teammates do. In 2020, Francesca Belibi dunked twice which were the first NCAA WBB dunks in 7 years. They can be seen at the beginning of this video. [MEDIA=youtube]mgvfiT3n2a4[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
