The American Icon Women Need: Ilona Maher 

I want a woman too who can pass good genetics that I don't have like square jawlines and height (I'm 5'9. But I remember a doctor telling me all the way in 2019 when I was like twelve or so who claimed that based off of it, I would grow up all the way to seven feet). And I know that Slavic women are definitely not the way to go for that 😅 (I know because I'm partially Slavic and have encountered the Slavic people. Not very tall. And they don't have square jawlines).

@@AlekseyMaksimovichPeshkov I mean… my wife doesn’t have her jaw.

Making monsters. Like Russia cool

@@james-ob9rz Except Russians aren't tall lol

That's awesome! Hope your kids go far in life!

BMIs should be taken w a grain of salt for everyone but are particularly inaccurate for athletes. Whoever thought it was a dig is sorely mistaken😂

The toxicity is middle school mean girls level

Yup. My son plays offensive line on a well-known college varsity football team, but because he carries a lot of weight he's always considered "fat" by people he interacts with, and dispite his excellence on the field, and incredible abilities in the weight room, he gets no respect out in the world. It's not fair and shows complete ignorance when athletes who work incredably hard dispite genetic disadvantages, make it to the top of their sport, and because they don't fit the mold of what people consider "an athletec body", are discounted by society.

BMI 30 is a lot if it's mostly fat. If it's mostly muscle mass, it's a minor concern. It may take a toll on the knees, so there's that.

@@RoseFinger99absolutely, this chick is pure muscle! I hate the BMI chart lol

So basically women lied and gassed her up saying she’s Brooke shields. Men made fun of that because it’s ridiculous on its face and we are the bad guys

@@andrewbradley3305 Gaslighting at its finest. No, we men don’t want this to be your “role model.” We need fewer masculine women in the West.

So let her play with the guys?

@@andrewbradley3305 Yeah, you and I are the bad guys. That woman looks like a guy, acts like a guy, plays aggressive contact sports that are meant for guys and these simps (including Brett) tell us how she is the perfect divine femininity. First it was Hannah Barron and now this. Conservatives have lost their minds.

​@@andrewbradley3305she does have similar facial features to brooke and men acting like she ugly cause you can punt you does make you the bad guy

Exactly. I'm tall and broad, but that doesn't mean that I'm not feminine. :/

@@anneshirley9560 it’s okay to not be feminine. you don’t have to be feminine to be a woman.

@@pabloescobarschanclas you don't have to be, but that doesn't mean that you can't be either. I still wear make up and dresses, and I'm a good cook and cleaner. ❤️ I still act feminine even if I don't look it.

@@pabloescobarschanclas - Not sure that's a good position to argue. We need to expand our arms as a society and accept/enjoy the tomboys of the world while affirming their finding their version of femininity. Not to encourage them being masculine, to your implication. Masculine women seem to have had a very bad net effect on their love lives. Most men ( except for simps ) don't want to, in effect, compete and conflict with a masculine woman. And I'm not implying that tomboys are completely masculine, either. Ilona Maher seems to have struck a great balance for herself.

I also clearly see her femininity! I truly dont know why everyone says they don’t! I am a fan though so I may be biased lok

Is she just as good as the males?

Yep, they're even more vicious toward feminine men.

It’s almost like if they don’t fit what they believe a man or a woman should be, they should not go out in public. It’s probably because they were raised to believe men and women had to look and behave a certain way and when they see someone challenging that it attacks who they are to their core, honestly it’s kind of sad.

People mocking ilana are the same people mocking trans people. They’re trolls, what are you smoking.

​@@jonathanthomas9677Y'all made this same shit with Imane Khelif. Hypocrites like Brett.

She's a hypocrite too. She judged Imane Khelif by saying she looks like a trans person (because she's not too feminine) without doing a complete research, now she's defending Ilona. Just spreading hypocrisy and misinformation.

In US! Not NZ .....

@@thrusta100 I'll agree the NZ girls are more on point and more consistent. But in the social media game, Illona has them beat.

She is very chunky

So, how would you feel about your daughter getting to the Olympics only to have a man punch her in the face. I hope for all young female athletes, this absolute insanity has been turned around.

Does she compete only against other girls? I've seen sports where females that have gone through (or going through) puberty are allowed to compete with pre-pubescent boys. They completely dominate them, but nobody says a word.

⁠@@PappyGunnGotta make a mother celebrating her strongly built daughter about men ‘completely dominating them,’ quick.

@@roseparade_ The issue is fairness in sports, and possible injury because of unfair/irresponsible matching of opponents. I've seen it in Judo and hockey. Girls naturally go through puberty earlier than male. There is a window of a few years where they physically dominate young boys, and you have to bear that in mind matching opponents. After about 15 or 16, the situation is reversed and you have to watch that too. I'm sure that mother would not want her healthy girl get pummeled because some idiot matched her against a young man. Same thing, by the way, for boys going through puberty at different times. I've seen 6 foot 14 year olds on the ice with kids that were still boy. Dangerous.

@@PappyGunn There’s nothing ‘fair’ about sports / athletics, but in terms of safety, I’m sure they are keeping every student safe. Let kids have fun doing their hobbies without making it weird.

Young girls have erectile dysfunction?

Erectile disfunction? I don’t think young girls have those……

People need to stop being so self-obsessed and most of these mental problems would go away.

@@ohsweetmysteryyour ignorance is ridiculous

@@ohsweetmysteryagreed to a certain extent, but a LOT of these issues for people start when they are very very young, and become ingrained. Some of them exist for incredibly vain or stupid reasons. We wonder why we don’t look “better” than that other person, or we think we deserve to somehow not have a certain “problem” because not having it would make us better than someone else. Some of these problems do stim from selfish sources even if we don’t realize (again, I know people who’ve struggled with ED’s since the age of 8, boys and girls, actually) and at the age of 8, how much comprehension do they have to understand that the thing they hate about themselves might actually have a selfish reason? Especially when kids make fun of each other for the stupidest things. The reason can be a vain one, but sometimes the reason is simply “there must be something wrong with me” Pointing out that certain things are normal about the human body IS fighting against the vanity that is getting worse every day. Reminding people that no one actually looks like an instagram model all the time, or at least not without getting extensive work done. I mean people on tik-Tok are telling others they need to be concerned about how far their nose is from their lips!! So there is a space for acceptance of things that are part of a normal human body in way that isn’t vain or some shallow affirmation that you’re just ridiculously beautiful. Or at least, the way I see it, making peace with those stupid things we’ve taught ourselves to see as flaws is less vain than trying desperately to change them or hide in pursuit of external validation. We do unfortunately live in a time where people are on display more than ever before. Naturally that’s going to cause a lot of issues. People DO need to stop being so self obsessed. But it’s not always the reason why people develop serious body image related issues. Even if self absorption is the reason, it doesn’t mean they aren’t also struggling and it doesn’t mean a lifetime of self-resentment can be magical reversed in a day.

The worst part is that the positivity is clearly just a mask, she's hurting inside because it gets to her no matter how hard she tries to not let it, that's true for everybody. On top of the hurtful attacks, it also makes her more sad because it convinces her that she won't find love. 🤦 What kind of monsters enjoy that? 😠

Good luck in your journey. I hope for peace, healing, and strength for you.

I believe in you. Take care of this body you were born in, you are perfect as you are and you will find someone who loves you. God works in mysterious ways and maybe your journey can help you to reach other girls who feel the same way. I know you will find happiness as you continue to focus on what you can do and create with your unique body and skills rather than the shallow standards of our time.

Way to go, girl! Be the real you and find your happiness.

Best of luck finding healing and peace! God bless!

Best of luck to you, kind sir.

The type of woman to help raise great, Scandinavian composer sons who can become the next Grieg (but a whole hella taller lol 😄)

That and she's sounds like a lady ... people are just miserable.

I'm sorry. as an asian, she looks like a guy on some angles and square chin. I'm glad to know her via this vlog.

Because the culture that conservatives don't want to admit is that there is always a hunt for people that are different. It's just masked by the current thing. Right now it's trans. Remove that it's just being gay. Remove that it's probably women being weaker than men again. Remove that it's probably a race. If not true. Then why would the left who "ask" anyone their pronouns be the problem vs the right who now is hunting for anything not fitting gender roles.

Yes!!! There's nothing wrong with being a more masculine woman, especially if you play sports!

This is so sad. Where did it all go wrong? I was your mixed girl growing up. I loved my dresses and baby dolls, but I also loved working with my dad on the cars or fixing things around the house. I would be wearing my little dress with bows in my hair, running outside to help my dad change the oil on the car. My grandma would tell me that working with my dad is not what girls do. I love that my parents never pushed "gender roles". I was not your athlete type and preferred the arts, but I was always interested in STEM but because I loved being a girl girl I was "too girly" for STEM. I would watch the show 'how its made' and I found the manufacturing industry fascinating. In high school I told my dad that I wanted to go into engineering and he fully supported me. I finished with an electrical engineering degree. I fully embraced who I am and I don't care that I am in a male dominated field. We went from supporting girls/women to pursue their dreams, to now bashing on them because of the current views. I just want all this nonsense to stop. I love that Ilona is sticking to who she is and not letting social pressure guide her in a different direction.

Nice ;)

Cap

My college is filled with ugly,smelly,woke women ,so i date my cousin

Why didn't you seal the deal!

noice

I’m 6’2” as well. It’s rough out there!

Same, 6'2 here as well. ❤

Can confirm, I am 6’3…

The Danish Queen Margaret is 6'1. Incredibly graceful and elegant. I always wanted to be taller, but it wasn't in my cards

​Don't sweat it sweets. You are a real woman.

Almost like you guys only sympathize with a certain type looking masculine woman...

That’s like saying Lizzo is the most stunning women. No need to lie

@@whales312 There's a difference. Lizzo doesn't take care of her body in the way she should. Ilona does. Someone who cares about their health is what makes them stunning half the time. She may not fit in your box of what stunning is, but she is certainly a physically stunning woman. For a woman to have body like that is hard. There is a difference.

@@whales312 Not everyone's standard of beauty is the same. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. She doesn't have to be the most beautiful to YOU, but she might be for some.

@@whales312Exactly but they’re going to attack you because they can’t handle the truth

Yes and all men are six plus feet tall because is the way they feel it. No all need to be amazing to be good

Absolutely not. That's why we are falling apart. Tolerance is self destructive

Exactly. That's why kids don't need thousands of dollars of surgery and hormone treatments to try and conform to cultish standards foisted on them from the annals of Reddit.

thank you so much for this fun fact! Ilo means ‘my love’ in my language 🙂

@@cassia2707What language is that?

And Kamala literally means horrible... Finnish is really spot on this year!

Sounds like a good grandmother... Im happy for you. Maybe, just slightly jealous of your husband, but... Yeah :)

God bless your grandmother.

@@renehansen1904 soon-to-be-husband but you’re not alone 😂 I’m the only one in a relationship in my friend group and my friends make it a habit to tease me on having the “perfect future husband” or having a “perfect relationship”. The biggest advice I’ve given them, and mind you I’m the baby of my friend group, is that the more you strive to be in a relationship that’s “perfect” the harder it’ll be for you to find love. My relationship with my fiancé isn’t perfect, we appear perfect because we both have standards on how to act in public but we do argue every now and again in private. The only reason why our arguments never start to affect our relationship in a way other’s can notice is because we communicate. If a couple knows how to communicate with each other, then they are already very close to being “perfect”. Plus, similar beliefs does help too 😊

@@SamBrockmann she’s my inspiration in life. She’s been happily married to my grandpa for 60+ years now, raised five wonderful children, helped take care of six grandchildren, and now enjoys seeing her four great-grandchildren whenever they have a chance to visit. I’m hoping in the next five years, I’ll be able to give her another great grandchild 🥹

@crystalmartinez2097 , that's beautiful. Your grandparents sound like an example of a loving marriage and being a loving family. We need more people like your grandparents, inspirations for life and love.

I wouldn't say conservative men specifically.

She looks like Laetitia Casta, she’s very pretty nice eyes full lips

Or, the adjective “masculine” works well

@@GabrielEddy might be impolite though.

@@GabrielEddy just thought of a new one. "Chad wife" hehe. Just for the harmless humor.

It's bc of her body type. She's tall and thick.She's 5'10 200lbs. And they want to shame her for something she literally has no control over. I have a very similar build and have joked that I could pass as a guy pretty easily.

@gigih6469 Wow, isn't it sad trans people have taken over so much, we see the body of an athlete and assume she's a man! Nuts! PS you're beautiful the way you are :)

Ya i mean if the trans thing didnt exist im not sure she would have received any skepticism

Amen 🙏🏾 ❤

I fully agree, but also how you take of yourself really matters, what your fitness looks like, what you eat, etc. So you choose your appearance and if you are bullied don't be offended it was a person choice whether smart or dumb

Morbidly obese people are beautiful, right?

The guys insulting her are probably the type of guys I saw in college that had calves the size of my forearms and ankles the size of my wrists (Context, I'm a 5'3" gal on the petite side). Men today are so scrawny and feminine that even an average healthy and decently athlectic woman looks more masculine than them by default. 20 - something guys look like they are in desperate need of testosterone pills.

@nalublackwater9729 Wow, there are dudes out there that are that concerned about how she looks? I’m a guy, and I could give two cents about how a woman looks. Now is she my type? Well no, and I mean that in the most respectful way possible, because Ilona seems like a sweet woman and a great person overall. But to complain about her looks? Who cares? It is not like you are going to be forced to date her or anything. This is America, my God, if you don’t like what you see, then move on. Nobody is putting a gun to your head to date somebody or follow a person on social media you don’t want to. If you are not happy, then go date or follow a person you do like then. I am just a simple man, I don’t see what the problem is.

@@KevinZ45 Watch the video and you will see too many dudes insulting her. There are far too many people out there who think the rest of the world cares about what they think. also, it's a way to signal how macho they are: "har har, I only like feminine, petite, weak women, look how manly I am." M'ah dude, a real man doesn't have to yell from the rooftops how manly he is, lol

@@KevinZ45 here's the part you're glossing over: the guys bashing on her are single & miserable or they're being cheated on. So essentially miserable guys no women want to begin with

@nalublackwater9729 Yeah, people really need to go outside. On the other hand though, I would argue that it is not just men tearing into her, but probably a lot of women too. I have seen women actually tear into other women’s looks even more than men most of the time. I’ve learned not to believe everything on the internet. Heck, it could even be some radical women behind the keyboard under a guys name to make men look bad.

I mean the comments and backlash literally prove this wrong though. I'm glad the people here are backing her up but a TON of right wing circles have been trashing her for years now simply for her looks. I mean just look at furiosa, a good movie more similar to the originals that got boycotted simply because it was women led

Yo, what? Babe, most of her haters are MAGA MEN. You have not been paying attention to the hate she's been getting if you are saying this.

men literally do have problems with her. it doesn't matter that she's physically strong, talented, or accomplished. that's not why they hate her. they hate her because she doesn't fit into their narrow definition of beauty.

Uhm you contradict yourself , cuz the point of this video is how maga men are literally refusing that a woman can look like her and play like her and calling her a man or trans. So you’re literally spitting lies

@@Cevichelicious The problem with Mad Max isn't that she is a woman, it's the fact there has been many woke movies in recent times, now people start seeing the wokeness when it's not there - In this case the Mad Max film! So in short it's swung the opposite side of the scale.

Or is it that she's a rugby player?🤔

@@babyqueenxo idk, to me the sport doesn't matter that much. Seems like the issue is how muscular she is

Uh... Female gymnasts are definitely not as muscular... If they were just as muscular at their height then they'd look huge but they don't.. Some are quite muscular, many/most aren't. Height is not the main or only reason here.... This isn't me trying to be rude to Ilona Maher. She seems great.

@@ireaditnerd8306 yeah they absolutely are. They just tend to photoshop themselves on social media and their brand commercials also make them look way smaller with strategic camera angles. Have you not seen the shoulders on simone biles? She's just overall a smaller frame so it's not as jarring as Ilona

It’s her face. Her face looks like the guy from sin city in drag. Female body builders who have pretty faces thrive on only fans. I am not trying to be mean, I dated a girl who looked like this and it was so frustrating bc she was awesome! But I couldn’t kiss her, it would be like trying to kiss a dude. I don’t know what to say about it, she is probably a great person but my gosh can we be honest, her face makes her look like a very masculine man. Typically I’m against this sort of thing but she could maybe avail herself to jaw/chin reduction surgery? I really don’t mean to be mean but she has a dudes jaw and chin.

There's wonder working power in following Kingdom principles on giving and tithing. Hallelujah!

But then, how do you get all that in that period of time? What is it you do please, mind sharing?

It is the digital market. That's been the secret to this wealth transfer. A lot of folks in the US and abroad are getting so much from it, God has been good to my household Thank you Jesus

And thanks to my co-worker (Michael) who suggested Ms Susan Jane Christy

How can I start this digital market, any guidelines and how can I reach out to her?

Don’t assume that she doesn’t swing both ways, or will eventually lol

Super unnecessary to start that with “she is not what I would call gorgeous”. Did you not just listen to what Brett said? The first line took away from anything remotely nice that you said afterwards, smh. No one asked if you thought she was gorgeous.

@@newbie504True mate, people should leave this rugby star alone and stop insulting her but that does not mean people have to date muscular women like her. That is no insult to her I am sure she will find a nice man soon. But I don’t know why people blame right wing people when this happens I am sure there are plenty of leftists who bully her as well.

Agreed!!!

@@izzieluv I am Japanese, but even if I can forgive all the complaints about the Paris Olympics, I cannot forgive women's boxing. In Japan, everyone is saying that it is a fatal act of discrimination against women by people who advocate diversity. This is the same opinion of almost all Japanese women, men, and transgender people. It is on a different level from the problems of the opening ceremony, misjudgment, and the Seine. If the opponents suffer brain dysfunction or the worst, the Olympic Committee will say this. "They participated of their own volition, and the IOC is not responsible. She is a martyr who went to heaven to tell the world about the correctness of diversity." The border of the rainbow has been broken and now it is the color of sewer. It is the color of the Seine.

Yes. Needs a discussion.

It's crazy how people are trying to sell it off as if she's Trans to push an agenda. She's intersex born a women mostly but definitely produces more testosterone then average making her borderline within legal competitive limits. I think there's a fascinating conversation to be had here about how to make things fair and what Is fair but now people are too busy making it a Trans thing to have that discussion

well if you're referring to the fight with imane khelif, if she does make a video accusing her of being transgender then brett will just be proving she's a hypocrite

Look at all the good your arms have done! I have the classic man hands and I always laugh that if one ever gets cut off in an accident nobody will know who it belongs to. But I have played musical instruments, nurtured my children, planted gardens and made art with them and am grateful for that. Plus as you get older you prob won't have wobbly arms haha. Them everyone will be jealous!
