Ronda Rousey is a boss ass bitch. Straight up. Plain and simple.
The as-yet undefeated Mixed Martial Arts phenom has taken the world by storm both inside and outside the octagon, kicking ass, taking names, and generally being a full time legend.
But with great visibility comes the inevitable great reflexive bullshit of the perpetually boring wheel of negative internet commentary, whose wont to reduce all female sportspeople to figures of mere attractiveness is of staggering proportions.
Rousey has faced criticism in the past – from both media and anonymous commenters – that her body is somehow “too masculine” to be attractive. Perpetuating the bullshit myth that women in sports only have worth if they rate as fuckable.
Never one to back down from anything – let alone a pack of internet fuckbois attempting to deride her as anything but the righteous babe that she is – Rousey hit back in brilliant fashion, and gifted unto us all the magnificent turn of phrase that is “a Do Nothing Bitch” in the process.
“I have this one term for the kind of woman that my mother raised me to not be. And I call it a ‘Do Nothing Bitch’, or I call it a ‘DNB’ a lot of the time…she [a DNB] just tries to be pretty and be taken care of by somebody else. That’s why I think it’s hilarious when people say my body looks masculine or something like that, I’m just like, listen – just because my body was developed for a purpose other than fucking millionaires, doesn’t mean it’s masculine, I think it’s femininely bad-ass as fuck, because there’s not a single muscle on my body that isn’t used for a purpose.”
The entire Embedded vlog series is being done in the lead up to UFC 190 in Brazil, where Rousey will defend her UFC Women’s Bantamweight Championship in the main event against Bethe Correia.
If the rumours and speculation are to be believed, there’s an outside chance that come UFC 193, Rousey could be taking on her next challenger at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena.
As for the style in which she deftly deals with her critics, Rousey remains typically brilliant.
“It’s not very eloquently said, but it’s to the point. And maybe that’s just what I am. I’m not that eloquent but I’m to the point.”
