"There's nothing masculine about being competitive. There's nothing masculine about trying to be the best at everything you do, nor is there anything wrong with it. I don't know why a female athlete has to defend her femininity just because she chooses to play sports"

About this Quote

In this quote, Rebecca Lobo is challenging the societal belief that being competitive and aiming to be the best is a manly trait. She argues that there is absolutely nothing naturally manly about these qualities and that there is absolutely nothing wrong with anyone, no matter gender, possessing them. Lobo likewise resolves the double requirement that female athletes often face, where they are anticipated to protect their femininity merely due to the fact that they choose to participate in sports. She is promoting for the approval and celebration of female athletes and their capabilities, without the requirement for them to conform to traditional gender roles.
