idk what experience everyone else has, but i'm seeing a lot of rose colored glasses, and that's understandable and fine to an extent, bc yeah im pretty optimistic about a lot of things too, especially nowadays with so many out players, but i played softball up through high school and a lot of female athletes are quite horrible ! filthy rich and blonde and christian and homophobic and racist and ruthlessly exclusionary. it's nice to be all yay inclusion everyone watches women's sports but it's not all sunshine and rainbows now and it certainly wasn't for me as a lesbian in varsity sports then, even though it was softball! a stereotypically lesbian sport! but if anything that made it worse. with that history, all the girls playing then felt like they have to be extra feminine to offset that reputation. it was very common for girls to wear full faces of makeup and jewelry on game days, regardless of the discomfort and impracticality and legitimate safety risks of wearing stacks of earrings when you could be hit by a ball
