PARIS, Aug 9 (Reuters) - Afghan female athlete Manizha Talash, a member of the refugee Olympic team at the Paris Games, displayed the words "Free Afghan Women" on her cape during her breaking routine in the competition's pre-qualifiers on Friday.

Political slogans and statements are banned on the field of play and on podiums at the Olympics, meaning Talash could face a potential sanction.

I see the broadcast trying NOT to let the camera show the awesome cape Manizha Talash of the Refugee Olympic Team unveiled in the middle of a battle. I see it. That's not politics or propaganda; that's human rights. Piss off.

afghan b-girl manizha talash was disqualified for a shirt that had a political slogan (because i guess reminding the world that women in afghanistan are suffering is political) but i didn't hear about that until today????

but hey, we defended women's sports by going after imane khelif because she doesn't present very feminine and she is way too good and she punched a white boxer during a boxing match! because i guess instead of reminding the world that there are people suffering while the games go on, let's put an athlete under extreme stress DURING THE OLYMPICS BECAUSE SHE'S A LITTLE TOO GOOD AT WHAT SHE DOES. great fucking work, western r*dfems. you defended women's sport but not enough that i don't hear about maniza talash being disqualified for trying to remind the world that women are suffering!

anyways, if any r*dfem shows up to argue with me, i'm blocking you instantly. i tagged the damn post with the warning to stay the fuck off my post, so please, respect it

giving a shoutout to Manizha Talash

she was the breaking athlete for team refugee, but originally is from afghanistan.

in this interview she says:

"I'll compete for my friends and for their dreams and hopes" "The girls of Afghanistan will never surrender. Whatever pressure you put on an Afghan girl - restrict her, or even imprison her - she'll definitely find a way out and will definitely achieve her goals. We fight and we will win."

wishing you luck in the future Talash!

one last word on this. it is very interesting to me that it is imane khelif (an allegedly intersex algerian person with an androgynous physique) who has been chosen by radfems to give a face to the problem of sexism at the olympics and not steven van de velde, the athlete convicted of raping a child, not "valentina" petrillo, the actual transwoman competing at the female paralympics, not manizha talash, the female afghan athlete who was eliminated from the competition for wearing a cape that said "free afghan women", not vinesh phogat, the female indian athlete who was excluded from the competition because she was 100g overweight as she was about to win a gold medal (a decision that may have been politically motivated considering phogat has been very vocal and active protesting sexual violence in indian society), not the inclusion of israeli players who represent a country that commits mass rapes on palestinian women.

When you bring that up the counter-argument is always "yes but radfems are opposed to the inclusion of khelif and at the same time they denounce these other forms of sexism, we can care about multiple issues at once" except that this is absolutely not the case here, feminists have devoted much, much more time, attention and conversation to khelif than to any other people i've mentioned here, they have protested much more against khelif than against the men or in support of the women I have listed. This shows that radfems (in general) have made the choice to give a greater priority to khelif than to these other questions, and this shows that their priorities really speak to white middle class women much more than they do disabled women, woc, third world and working class women.

Because even if khelif had been a biological male identifying as a woman (which isn't the case)... none of this warrants focusing so much on her. all the other topics i've mentioned here have only been discussed from time to time at best (for van de velde and petrillo) and a couple of times before everyone decided to collectively move on at worst (for talash and phogat). Of course fair play for women is important but it shouldn't obliterate every other conversation to be had about male violence, especially male violence occuring in third world countries in large part because of western imperialism (in the cases of afghanistan, india and palestine)

הצביעות האולימפית שוברת שיאים! למשלחת הישראלית לא אישרו אפילו סיכת חטופים כי זה מסר פוליטי מבחינתם, הם גם פסלו ספורטאית פליטה מאפגניסטן כי הניפה מסר למען חופש לנשים האפגניות שתחת דיכוי אבל הם אישור למשלחת הספורטאים הפלסטינים ללבוש בטקס הפתיחה חולצות עם ציור של מטוסים משגרים טילים כמחאה על הלחימה בעזה. פשוט לא ייאמן... מה שבטוח אנחנו נזכור מהאולימפיאדה הזו את ההישג המטורף של נבחרת ישראל, ולגבי הצביעות הבלתי נתפסת של הוועד האולימפי- מגיע להם לקבל מדליית הזהב בצביעות... 

It’s shameful that the Olympics disqualified refugee athlete Manizha Talash, from Afghanistan, for wearing a cape reading “Free Afghan Women”, and the Olympic committee refuses to allow Israeli athletes to wear a hostage pin, but none of the Palestinian athletes were disqualified for wearing shirts with bombs on them at the Opening ceremony.

Explain to me why this brave athlete was disqualified while the Palestinian boxer was allowed to wear a shirt depicting kids getting b*mbed?

[selenastaylors]

Manizha Talash fled Afghanistan after the Taliban took over in 2021 and is competing performing in the olympics, just for her to get disqualified for her outfit saying “free afghan women”. This is just disgusting as the olympics will jump to protect others but not women of color.
