Rather than a bunch of men debate what is or is not sexist, perhaps we should ask a woman.
What a sexist comment!
Im offended.

My opinions on these type things are often in the minority here, but in the name of broaching a good topic, here goes ...
I find images like this one below to be annoying.
What is the message here? Is it intended to comfort those who are afraid that someone who competes hard in a rough sport isn't feminine?
I see a similar message in team photos where the players put on dresses and take pictures w/ bats and gloves, as if to say, ''Don't worry, they're still pretty girls!''
To be clear, I have no problem with any individual girl who relates to this image. If that's who she is, that's great.
But what is the point of this particular image and caption?
Anyhow, those are my thoughts on that.
I don't have a problem with this picture. I think the message it tells a girl is, softball doesn't have to be your only identity.
I have no problem with the original picture posted. To me it just says that softball player is not the "only thing" that these girls are.
That picture also says to me, that underneath the usual layers of dirt, and sweat that we are used to, there is a girl.
