Xa kuziwa kwiimbaleki zabasetyhini, kuhlala kubonakala ngathi "owasetyhini" uthatha indawo ephambili "kwimbaleki" -kodwa xa kuthethwa ngababhali beendaba abaphatha inkundla njengekhaphethi ebomvu. Le nto yokubuza iimbaleki malunga nobunzima, impahla, iinwele, okanye ubomi bothando yafika kwindawo yobunzima kulo nyaka uvulekileyo wase-Australia. Umdlali we-tennis wase-Canada u-Eugenie Bouchard wacelwa ukuba "asinike i-twirl kwaye" usixelele ngengubo yakho. "Yayikukuziphatha okubi ngokwesini. Abantu kuyo yonke indawo bavukela umbono wokuba umdlali we-tennis obalaseleyo we-48 wehliswa ukuze athethe ngesiketi sakhe esifutshane .

Ukuphendula #twirlgate (yiloo nto yayibizwa njalo!), iphulo le-#covertheathlete lazalelwa ukukhuthaza amajelo eendaba ukuba akhuphe iimbaleki zabasetyhini ngentlonipho efanayo naleyo bayenzayo amadoda. Ukungqina inqaku labo malunga nomahluko omkhulu wesini kwimidlalo, eli phulo livelise ividiyo ehlekisayo. Iqaqambisa ucalucalulo lwesini kwezi ntlobo zemibuzo ngokuyibuza kwiimbaleki ezingamadoda. Umdadi weOlimpiki uMichael Phelps, umzekelo, "ubuzwa" yintatheli, "Ukususa iinwele zakho zomzimba kukunika umda echibini, kodwa kuthekani ngobomi bakho bothando?" apho ehleka kwaye ekhangeleka engakholelwa. Ezinye iinkwenkwezi zezemidlalo zamadoda zibuzwa imibuzo malunga "neenwele zabo ze-helmet", "i-girlish figure", ubunzima, iyunifomu ekhawulezayo, kunye nomnye umhlalutyi webhola ekhatywayo wongezelela, "Ndiyazibuza ukuba utata wakhe wamthabathela bucala xa wayemncinci wamxelela 'Wena' awusoze ube ngumjongi, awusoze ube ngu-Beckham, ke kuya kufuneka uhlawule loo nto'?

Kuyahlekisa ude uqonde ukuba le yimibuzo ebuzwa ngabadlali ababhinqileyo konke. i. ixesha. Kwaye okubi kakhulu, kulindeleke ukuba babaphendule okanye babe semngciphekweni wokubizwa ngokuba bayabanda okanye bitchy.

"Amagqabantshintshi ngokwabelana ngesondo, imibuzo engafanelekanga yodliwano-ndlebe, kunye namanqaku athetha ngenkangeleko yomzimba akapheleli nje ekujongeni izinto ezenziwa ngumfazi, kodwa athumele umyalezo wokuba ixabiso lomfazi lisekelwe kwinkangeleko yakhe, kungekhona amandla akhe-kwaye ixhaphake kakhulu," i-website yephulo. uyachaza. "Lixesha lokuba sifune ukusasazwa kwemithombo yeendaba egxile kwimbaleki kunye nokusebenza kwakhe, hayi iinwele zakhe, iimpahla okanye umzimba."

Uyafuna ukunceda? (Ngokuqinisekileyo siyakwenza!) Eli phulo licela wonke umntu, amadoda namabhinqa, ukuba banxibelelane nenethiwekhi yemithombo yeendaba yalapha ngalo myalezo: "Xa ugubungela imbaleki yabasetyhini, sifuna ukuba ugubungele ukusebenza kwakhe kunye namandla akhe."

Ngaba singafumana i Amen? Lixesha lokuba ezi iimbaleki ezintle zifumane ikhredithi kwinto eziyenzayo, hayi indlela ezibukeka ngayo. (Jonga la mathuba angama-20 eMidlalo ye-Iconic aquka iimbaleki zabasetyhini.)
