I can't believe what was still going on in the 60s. Women today need to start speaking up about men in women's sports and locker rooms. I don't get it. Why aren't all women speaking up for these athletes?

"Why aren't all women speaking up for these athletes?"

For a number of reasons (intimidation and punishment for those who speak up, a lack of understanding of the biology, a belief that admitting men are stronger than women is "antifeminist," a desire to be "kind"), a surprising number of women support this. Not athletes, of course, athletes are all very clear about the importance of a female category, but they don't make the decisions.
