    The bullshit sexist gatekeeping that works to block women from traditionally male dominated sports whether as players, coaches or otherwise is infuriating and tired and regressive. Read this article by @paugasol then hire and recruit all the goddamn women!https://www.theplayerstribune.com/en-us/articles/pau-gasol-becky-hammon …

        I'm sure there's plenty of gatekeeping that needs to be fixed, but would you meet me halfway and acknowledge that men and women also make different choices as a contributing factor to gender disparities? Like how many women actually applied for these jobs vs men? 🤨pic.twitter.com/tgqv9b2t3B

        I don't buy this. For example, Computing Science was absolutely dominated by women in the early days, until a number of factors were introduced, including coding being a coveted high paying job, and the games industry marketing heavily to boys.

        Also there's a lot of abuse hurled at women in STEM fields, which tends to push women out of the field, leaving less accomplished women for aspiring young women to look up to.

        Hence why I started my tweet with, "I'm sure there's a lot of gatekeeping that needs to be fixed too." But you look at places like Sweden that have done the most to combat gender equality and the biological / preferential differences are maximized there. It's not just bigotry.

        There's a reason I donate to @femfreq, ya know. It's cuz I support the work they do in raising awareness and introspection. But there are other factors at play as well that never get discussed. Or if you do, people accuse you of downplaying bigotry, as if it's an either-or. 🤨

        I'm happy you donate to them! If I got the wrong impression as to your intent then I'm sorry. It was mostly because I thought the comic you included gave no actual information compared to what you likely have to offer with your own words.

        A picture's worth 1000 words. There's only so much I can say in 280 chars. But my intent was merely to show nuance. Yes, there is bigotry and it's a problem, but there are also other factors too that contribute to what we are seeing. It's not just one or the other.

        "The left ignores individualism, the right ignores systems." I'm happy to talk about systemic racism, in fact I was just watching an interview between Scott Adams and Hawk Newsome of BLM. But I was trying to see if they would acknowledge that individual differences matter too.

        How about we hire the people that are best suited for the job? Saying that we should only hire women is, by definition, sexist, so you are crippling hypocrite.

        We have female coach and other staff for professional sports. We've seen what happens when when women play against men, they loose and get badly beaten. Not bc the men are abuser's but bc the women aren't as strong and therefore aren't as capa. Women should play against women.

        Women shouldn't be hired just because of their gender. They should be hired for how good they are at their sport. You are a professional victim and should stay away from the media at all times.

        Do you at least understand that women cannot compete with men at the top levels of sport? This is why there are separate women's teams. It's even the same for the top levels of intellectual "sports" like chess (only 1 woman in top 100 players).

        Bonus to hiring female coaches - not having to worry about sex abuse scandals biting you in the a$$ in the future! The stats back it up BTW.
