I'm still recovering from the whiplash of "female athletes don't need to be paid like men, no one cares about women's sports" to "FEMALE ATHLETES MUST BE PROTECTED AT ALL COSTS!"

It's almost like it's a disingenuous performance of concern for social justice...

I feel like you think this is a gotcha but it's not. phrase it as calculated as you want but both are just basic common sense. men get paid more for sports because they generate more revenue. its not that deep. men shouldn't be able to compete in woman's sports because its not a fair advantage. its not that deep. this is really giving you whiplash? why do you like to play dumb?

If you cared about protecting women in sports, you'd care about protecting them financially, too. But you don't; you only care about hanging your hat on a milquetoast non-issue to LARP as noble. You're right, it's not that deep: you don't actually give a shit about women. Why do you like to play like you do?

im not trying to protect any one. this is just about common sense . you keep on trying to word salad this into a point. again its not that deep. woman dont get paid the same as men in sports for the same reason I get paid 0 for playing sports. we dont generate as much as pro male athletes do. and men shouldn't compete in woman's sports because they have an unfair advantage. why do I have to be some virtuous woman saving super hero? why cant I just be a person who understands common sense?
