Oberlin College Women's Rugby Club gave considerable thought and self-reflection before producing the calendar.
“In a society that brands female competitive sports athletes as masculine, this calendar parodies the standard beauty myth, by juxtaposing the concept of the seductive and submissive pinup with images of women who assert themselves not only as strong athletes, but also as empowered women.”

In addition, consistent with the main goals of this calendar, we would like to foster debate and discussion of the issues raised outside of our immediate community— if you feel strongly either way about this calendar or what you have read, please feel free to contact me and I will forward your remarks to my teammates!
