Women's Basketball Coach Goes Viral For Her Powerful Words About No Longer Hiring Men

Women's Basketball Coach Goes Viral For Her Powerful Words About No Longer Hiring Men

Muffet McGraw is the head women's basketball coach over at the University of Notre Dame. This past Friday night, her team secured a spot in the NCAA championship game.


However, after the game, a somewhat controversial decision by McGraw was asked about by a reporter, shifting the conversation from her team's win to gender inequity.

The policy is, McGraw does not hire male coaches.

The moment was captured on video.

She starts by pointing out that the Equal Rights Amendment was introduced in 1967, and still has not been ratified.

She then explains...

"We've had a record number of women in office and winning, and still we have 23 per cent of the House and 25 per cent of the Senate."
"I'm getting tired of the novelty of the first female governor of this state, the first female African-American mayor of this city. When is it going to become the norm instead of the exception?"

Then, she addresses the question head on.

"We don't have enough visible women leaders. We don't have enough women in power. Girls are socialized to know that when they come out, gender roles are already set."
"Men run the world. Men have the power. Men make the decisions. It's always the man that is the stronger one. And when these are coming out, who are they looking up to to tell them that's not how it has to be. And where better to do that than in sports?"

People were inspired:




They appreciated her message.




McGraw's team at University of Notre Dame will play against Baylor for the championship this coming Sunday.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
