Why I'm Not in Love with Freewrestling Babes

The Unappealing Nature of Professional Wrestling

As a self-proclaimed cynic, I've always been skeptical about the world of professional wrestling. The over-the-top theatrics, the scripted matches, and the constant drama between wrestlers all seem to be a turn-off for me. But what really gets my goat is the objectification of women in this industry.

I mean, let's be real, the majority of female wrestlers are treated like mere eye candy rather than athletes worthy of respect. The constant focus on their physical appearance and the way they're often portrayed as damsels in distress or femme fatales is just so... ugh.

The Lack of Representation and Diversity

But what really gets me is the lack of representation and diversity in this industry. Where are the women of color? The plus-sized wrestlers? The ones who don't fit into the traditional mold of beauty or athleticism? It's like they're invisible.

And don't even get me started on the way female wrestlers are often forced to conform to certain standards of beauty and femininity. It's like they're expected to be perfect, flawless, and above all, sexy.

Why I'm Not Convinced by the 'Empowerment' Narrative

Now, I know some people might say that professional wrestling is empowering for women. That it's a platform where they can showcase their strength and athleticism. But let me tell you, I'm not buying it.

I mean, when was the last time you saw a female wrestler being taken seriously as an athlete? When did we start celebrating their skills in the ring rather than just their looks?
