Do you think Paige Spiranac's boldness is what golf needs to break its conservative mold?

In a sport like golf, Paige Spiranac is nothing short of a lightning bolt. While she stepped away from professional golf years ago, she never really said goodbye to her love for the game. Today, she’s one of the most influential sports personalities on the internet, with 4 million followers and counting. But being a fan favorite isn’t just about numbers; it comes with the responsibility of speaking up, especially on issues that matter. And if there’s one thing Spiranac is known for, it’s speaking her mind fearlessly and unapologetically.

Take a recent post on X as an example. An account on X pointed out Sabrina Carpenter’s hypocrisy sarcastically by calling her a “genius” a month ago. They noted how Carpenter “embraces her sexuality but still keeps women as her target audience. Like how is she performing in lingerie, and I still feel like it’s not for men at all? I can’t comprehend it, but I love it.”

Spiranac was quick to respond and called out the double standards. She mentioned that she dislikes women who choose their support as per their convenience. At the end of her post, she wrote, “Women should be able to embrace their sexuality if that’s what makes them feel empowered. One shouldn’t be called a genius while the other is called an attention wh*re for doing the same exact thing.”

Spiranac has been called many things for her dress sense over the years. She has always stood up for herself and has never let trolls get to her, but it does get exhausting after a while. The golf diva pointed out that everyone should keep the same stance at all times, and two people should not be called two different things for doing something similar. Spiranac is a feminist, and time and again she has made it clear that whatever she does is for her good.

While many have a platform, only a few utilize it to bring up such taboo and conservative topics. But Sprianac is not someone who shies away from speaking the truth, and that’s what her fans love about her the most. It does take guts to openly discuss your strong opinion on the internet but does Spiranac care? Well, with a fanbase always ready to support her, she doesn’t have to.

People resonated with her message about double standards in how women are judged for expressing their sexuality. Many applauded her courage to speak out, as one fan remarked, “It’s a valid observation that there is a fine line between being oneself and being the stereotype of one’s self to proliferate a devaluing stereotype that prevailed during historic times of discriminatory behavior.

However, some have used this power to go beyond sometimes, if you understand. You’ve got your target audience. Stay strong and keep your head up.”
