After the Olympics competition ended,Biography Archives a few of Team USA's gold medal-winning gymnasts took a well-deserved beach day in Rio.
When Simone Biles shared a shot of herself and teammates Madison Kocian and Aly Raisman displaying their strong gymnast abs, a Twitter conversation erupted, proving that women are subject to the male gaze no matter their accomplishments.

Crystal's response not only comments on this particular situation, but also on the male gaze on a larger scale. Her tweet points out why men shouldn't comment on women's looks or bodies – because women don't exist to be looked at.
Biles, Kocian and Raisman's bodies are impressively strong and toned because they are three of the best gymnasts in the world, and not because they are trying to seem attractive to men.
Well done, Crystal.
