Liberal news site Salon succumbed to a feminist meltdown over TV coverage of female Olympic athletes.

The online magazine criticized media coverage of the women, citing the “focus on them as wives and moms.”
Women are taking home medals, but many reports still focus on them as wives and moms

Apparently that’s bad. https://t.co/3urOM5cIwp

Salon’s outburst did not sit too well with some on Twitter, many of whom are women — proud wives and moms, to boot.

God forbid strong women be proud of their families… https://t.co/bNE2P5hRia

@morgslw Seriously. The point is that they’re stronger for being wives as moms. It’s not a mark against women, sheesh.

how dare you women be wives and moms. Don’t you know better?! https://t.co/2RRKnk69mw

Maybe the athletes are proud of the “wife” and “mother” titles. https://t.co/0y0F3UhkRO

@SouthernKeeks @Salon and wasn’t one goal of feminism to get to the point where women can have it all?
— Ronna McNamara (@RonnaMcnamara) August 8, 2016
Major aspects of their lives are being talked about, adding to the amazingness of who these women are!? The nerve! https://t.co/1fBpTFyZHp

@TheBrandonMorse How the fuck does this logic work? Let’s celebrate women by awkwardly avoiding what being a woman means!
— yutt (@yutt) August 8, 2016
@Salon because many of them are wives and moms. And proud of it. Dumbasses.
— Bullsh!t (@GOP_WH_News) August 8, 2016
@Salon yes, let’s ignore major parts of their lives and only talk about training and competition. Because feminism!
— Bullsh!t (@GOP_WH_News) August 8, 2016
@Salon @TAINTEDLUVV Because women are defined by their uterus ???
— Jamaal Artis (@KingsPapa1015) August 8, 2016
That time @Salon (once again) informed the world that they hate wives and mothers.
Nice.— Ken Joseph (@KenJoseph66) August 8, 2016
@SouthernKeeks@Just_a_Texan Good thing @Salon cares so much about these athlete’s needs and desires and not their own projection.
