Jiu Jitsu Blog and womens BJJ - Think before you post

Jiu Jiu’s Note: While this post was written with men in mind, it applies to women, as well as admins of any gender behind online groups and forums.

Think before you post.

Specifically, think before you post about BJJ women.
This weekend a Facebook group posted a picture of Gabi Garcia vs Yuri Nakakura from this past weekend’s ADCC. The administrators left instructions to Caption This! ”Caption This” is an easy way to get user engagement, get some funny comments, and get lots of “likes” and shares.

Unfortunately, when it comes to women in BJJ, Caption This very often leads to inviting people to leave sexual and rude comments. This proved no exception. Several of the comments left were obvious pot shots at Gabi’s size (David vs Goliath), or references to Gabi being some sort of non-human monster. Many alluded to these women being referred to as men, often very crudely “Her penis is bigger than mine” or “Why is that little boy fighting that big man.” And a few got uncomfortably sexual: “just the tip.”
