“I have this one term for the kind of woman my mother raised me to not be, and I call it a do nothing bitch. A DNB. The kind of chick that just tries to be pretty and be taken care of by someone else. That’s why I think it’s hilarious if my body looks masculine or something like that. 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 badass as fuck because there’s not a single muscle on my body that isn’t for a purpose, because I’m not a do nothing bitch. 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.”
While some are applauding Rousey for embracing her body, others are unhappy with the way Rousey is going about it.

And I agree. By basically saying "I'm not like most girls," we are witnessing firsthand internalized misogyny. Rousey responded to sexist rhetoric with a sexist response. This changes nothing. This helps no one, including herself. By calling out these women with bodies, "developed for f*ng millionaires," she's adding to the misogynistic culture we see today. She's tearing other women down that don't look like her.
It goes without saying that no one can knock this woman on her incredible athleticism. All that aside, Rousey definitely needs an attitude adjustment.
