Because a lot of women are mentally 13 years old their entire lives.
Treating them like they have agency and giving them political influence is probably the most damaging blow you can give to a culture and society.

I think the argument is that WNBA isn't given an opportunity to succeed because it is given literally zero publicity and isn't shown on any major media networks, but you get into sort of a circular argument here - it doesn't get publicity or get shown on major networks because it's not popular

Nah. In this scenario you're talking about the LeBrons and Durants who have been hyped since they were kids, have had access to all the best schools and trainers and are destined for an NBA career. The difference in athletic ability, strength, speed, etc. is just too much.

There are stories of professional women's teams getting BTFO against young amateur male competition and borderline pros across all sports during practice scrimmages. The same would hold true here. You'd have to seriously tell this boys team to let up for the WNBAers to have a chance.

Against a middle school squad or a stinking terrible varsity squad with no players with college or NBA ambitions, maybe, but otherwise it's no competition.

>>64319410

I think women understand the concept of Supply and Demand. I think the problem is that there's simply not enough demand for women other than for sex and some niche areas of entertainment.

Sports? Men.
Technical Support? Men.
Education? Men.
Mechanical Work. Construction. Fiction/Non-Fiction writing? There's just not a lot women are doing that a capable man can't do as well.

I didn't crush her, but at the same time I really wasn't that good. Women at the highest level can definitely rival your average recreational male player (at least, in non-contact) but if you match equivalent skill levels in both sexes, they get crushed every time.

Pay is based on the sponsorship and TV deals the players attract, nothing to do with sport.

Basketball's main drawing point as a sport is extremely fast paced, high octane actions (dunks, fastbreaks, jumping high, running fast etc.) Men's bodies can do these things better than a woman's (in most cases). Just basic biology and supply/demand, but that's too logistical for a feminist.
