I flipped on the TeeVee a couple minutes ago, and the Olympics closing ceremonies were on. As the athletes marched out, one of the first images I saw was Imane Khelif, the gold-medal winning Algerian boxer. As she passed the camera, she kissed her gold medal, and smiled sweetly at the camera.
That's beautiful! This talented young woman, who had become the target of the most hateful expressions of misogyny, from the foulest sectors of American society, responded with gentle love and humor.
You go girl! Knock 'em down for the count!
