No other woman in the world of golf has been as vocal as Paige Spiranac when it comes to supporting the cause of feminism. The social media influencer has always cited her support for woman’s rights and uses her platform to promote her thoughts. Spiranac yet again had some empowering words for all the women around the sports world and shared how they are mistreated by the media and fans.

Apart from being one of the most followed golf stars on social media, Paige Spiranac also hosts a popular podcast ‘Playing-A-Round With Page Renee’. The 29-year-old utilizes the podcast to share her thoughts and predictions for upcoming tournaments.

During the most recent episode of the podcast, Spiranac discussed the hypocrisy of the fans. However, sexism was the center of attention for the podcast, as the influencer had an unfiltered rant about discrimination.

Spiranac first stated how she frequently has several shoots with men. However, the fans didn’t seem to care or acknowledge the existence of the other individual who is a male. She believes the fans have the same reaction to her past relationships, where fans wouldn’t care about the person.

However, according to Spiranac, it is completely the opposite when it comes to a male athlete being seen with his wife or girlfriend. Spiranac also questioned the sexism of the industry. She said, “It is it’s like a form of sexism in a way where they don’t want to but when it comes to men, having a hot wife or girlfriend is the greatest accessory that anyone could ever have.”

The 2022 Maxim’s Sexiest Woman Alive then shed a light on sexism with the help of examples. She included some of the most popular wives and girlfriends in the sports world.

Spiranac said, “And even when it comes to talking about if there is a successful counterpart, it’s always so and so’s boyfriend or that’s like Camille caustic, like she has her own career. She’s very famous, and people refer to her as wrong girlfriend,” while referring to the long-time girlfriend of former New England Patriots Tight end Rob Gronkowski.

Paige Spiranac then talked about the wife of Gronk’s teammate and friend Tom Brady, Gisele Bundchen. However, she did give the Brazilian model her props for making it big in the modeling industry. She said, “Or even while I was gonna say Giselle, but that’s not even that because we’ll take that one out.”

Spiranac finally discussed Paulina Gretzky who recently married the LIV Golf star, Dustin Johnson. She added, “But it’s always like a good thing when a guy has like a really hot girlfriend or wife but that doesn’t apply to a woman and it’s just really weird how they were so turned off by seeing that but they love it when they get to see Paulina.”

Though most of Spiranac’s comments may be personal, she has spoken the truth. Some fans tend to care more about the wives and partners than the players themselves. It is embarrassing, hypocritical, and like Spiranac mentioned sexist.
