Notes -
Why do I find it so heartbreaking that so many 2022 FIFA World Cup commentators and panelists are women? I have a hard time articulating my justifications for these feelings, but there’s a weight in my chest as if I’ve lost a close friend or just discovered that my lover is cheating on me. One of those ideas that’s like seasickness - you feel like you’re going to die and everyone else thinks it’s pathetic and funny.
I am very familiar with this feeling, The feeling of abject hopelessness at superficially innocuous things. Even though I don't really feel it for this specific case. It's a tough one to disperse given that you can't share it with anyone without coming off as batshit insane.
In this particular case, I can't say much because I don't watch football.
Perhaps its more women for the reason that all traditionally male professions are have more women nowadays. They are hired for "equality". So do you think that the male commentators they replaced are a great loss?
Or is it merely the fact that they are women and you don't like the fact that those people who are willing to put women in places for no reason other than being a women are in power?
Try to write it out, it's the best way to articulate fuzzy ideas.
