Some People Will Go to Amazing Lengths to Intimidate Strong Women - Including Women in the WNBA

Intimidate women who are athletes. Throwing out sex toys is certainly a sick way to try to do that. In a patriarchy with men trying to keep women down, making women sex objects is a tried and true way. 

 

“The safety of everyone in our arenas remains a top priority," a WNBA spokesperson said in a statement. "We are working closely with local and federal law enforcement to pursue all appropriate actions — including arrest and prosecution with felony charges where applicable — against anyone engaged in this conduct or otherwise involved in sponsoring this reckless and unacceptable behavior.”

Hope all the kooks get the book thrown at them.
