Maybe, but sexism is a Christian value.

get back in the kitchen and plop out some babbys! /s
It'll look violent if one's tampoon/cup spills out in the rink.
Go be a fly on the wall in a right wing chat. They hate women. They scare them. If the have them, they hate their wives. They hate their lives. They hate anything that forces critical thinking. It is almost comical.
They feel entitled to us and are simultaneously annoyed and angry that we profess to be human beings, which are actually entitled to the same legal rights.
They're also the "pro-lifers" who couldn't actually give a shit about the life of a child once it's born. Pull yourself up by the bootstraps kiddo, time to justify the existence that was forced upon you
It’s more about the entitlement. They feel entitled to children but can’t have them without going through another human being to make it so. As such, laws are made to give them control over said human beings.
It’s like all those proposed save all the kids on the internet laws. The kids are not what it’s really about. Sure, you can dig up a rare human or two who really does want it to be about that, even to the point of belief, but the kids are never what it’s about.
They just want women to have children because they hate women and children are awful. Starving children in need are even more awful.
The men’s team was such a disappointment here. Not that I was hugely invested, but still. Have some respect for your fellow athletes, maybe?
Tbh, contact sports seem so much more disparate than non contact sports. Like, I’d expect Roger Federer to respect Steffi Graf (I’m old, okay?), but men’s hockey and rugby players seem less appreciative/respectful towards women’s hockey and rugby players.
I suspect it’s a combination of the relatively greater importance of strength/mass and the heightened aggression involved
I frequently make this error of thinking people who are highly accomplished through perseverance have a good moral compass. It is truly a bad habit. Academia has also let me down.
Being part of a minority really highlights how horrible some sport's cultures can be. If you are a gay or female fan of any sport you have to pick your social circles like navigating a minefield. Lest you end up in the homophobic “let's lynch the gay guy” or the “gang rape the only woman here” fan-club.
Sure, the vast majority of sport spaces are not that extreme, but it only takes one, and unfortunately they are a pretty much non-zero number. Sometimes just watching a game alone in you living room can expose you to casual homophobia and misogyny depending on the commenters.
There's probably some truth to this. Men's and women's hockey are functionally separate sports.
Tbh, contact sports seem so much more disparate than non contact sports.
Does this also extend to combat sports (e.g. MMA), or is it more of a team sports thing?
I don’t know enough mma people to say, honestly. I know jiu jitsu bros, and they tend to be extreme in either direction, but more commonly very cool with women who also do jiu jitsu.
My sister did a fuck ton of martial arts and some combat sports (no MMA), and is pretty thick skinned about sexism. According to her, the same is true for most martial artists and wrestlers, but boxers are more of an even mix.
Edit: maybe it scales with head trauma?
Brain damage is linked to more aggressive behavior, so it tracks.
I was a wrestler in hs. Can confirm I have very thick skin about sexism from the abuse I endured. Because it happens so much, you either quit or find a way to deal with it.
Those who stick it out survived the selective pressure to get them to quit. So is no wonder they tend to be more uniform than you’d otherwise expect.

They only like women in sports if they think they are fuckable
They know the women's hockey team are tougher than they could hope to be, and they hate what they fear
Just look at the crash out they had about the beach volleyball outfits in the summer Olympics.
It's almost as if the Venn diagram of those people and the ones who mock the WNBA is a circle.
You don't understand: it's important that only dainty trad women play women's sports because otherwise my favorite manly men (🥵) might be threatened. My whole identity is the patriarchy plz don't take this from me...
i don’t get it
There are a few different things you need to know to get this, so it's hard to blame you.
The first is that there is a prominent and very loud transphobic community of people who cry about "women's sports", where what they really mean is "trans women aren't women and shouldn't be allowed to be in women's spaces", but they couch it in notions of fairness in sport. You know it's not legitimate concern because of how often they've gone after cis women who just happen to look a little too masculine for their misogynistic tastes.
You also need to know that Donald Trump, the US president, has been closely tied to these loud transphobes.
The third thing is that at this year's Winter Olympics, the US teams won both the men's and women's ice hockey competition.
Following that win, Donald Trump called the men's team and invited them to meet him at the White House, after the State of the Union. He derisively joked with them:
And we have to, I must tell you, we're going to have to bring the women's team, you do know that. I do believe I probably would be impeached [if the women's team was not invited].
We know this because one of the men recorded the call and posted the video online. Many of the men were heard laughing in response to Trump's sexist joke. One or two of the men posted after-the-fact that the men should not have reacted like that. Whether it's sincere or face-saving, I'll leave up to the reader.
So we've got Trump, a member of the "protect women's sports" movement, caught vocally deriding successful women athletes. Almost like the "protect women's sports" movement is actually just an "exclude trans women from society" movement.
That was the joke? The racist uncle at Thanksgiving bitching and moaning about a societal expectation to treat people with respect even if you don't agree with their choices, thinly veiled as a "joke?"
He didn't want to invite out the women's team, or any women's team for that matter, because they're not likely to be Trump supporters and he can't handle having his feelings hurt.
Thank you for giving the full play-by-play.
Completely necessary.
Thanks, didn't know all that jazz! What an absolute looser attitude (but maga got to maga I guess...).
They both won, kind of crazy too, congrats!

I'm guessing they are referring to the people pushing to make women's sports exclusive to cis women. If they cared about women in sports, they would be angry about the president belittling the accomplishments of an Olympic gold medal team.
This is such low hanging fruit.
If you don't understand that by now, no messaging will get to you.
