Absolute bar – "Notably patterns can be discerned in two key ways: when women's sports make their biggest advances, that is what typically leads to a countermovement mostly directed at shutting down the momentum. The rhetoric is easy to spot—enemies of the game insist they are merely hoping to protect women, or bowing to the reality that men's sports are more popular."

"These tropes are visible everywhere in what's happened since, from movements against women's sports writ large to attempts to attack groups within women's sports, including LGBTQ participants and the current furor directed at the trans community from so-called defenders of women's sports who wouldn't know a WNBA basketball if it makes them in the face" yeah u get it

insane the sports world we've lived in forever maybe I'll say more about it later, but there's constant fretting about women in sports either already not being woman enough or that their participation in sports will make them less of a woman.
or even that they're too womanly and therefore too fragile to be an athlete. so there is merely no winning across the board.
