people on this site will really be like "men deserve to die actually bc women aren't allowed to join the tour de france and they had that crash coming praise that woman" and im begging y'all to turn on the brain for 2 seconds.
yes there should be a better women's alternative for the tour than la course bc giving the men a three week's race and then making the women's race one day affairs isn't fair. no it makes no sense for women to join the men's version of the tour de france bc the bulk of the women would not be able to make it to the finish line in nearly the same time over the same distance as the men.
men are the stronger and bigger part of our species. idk why that's a controversial take these days but that's just how it is. there's this call for letting women compete against men in physical sports and i don't understand. why? male athletes generally have more strength, are faster and have better endurance than women. of course there's always going to be some women who can hold their own against male athletes! but they are exceptions and generally women wouldn't be able to truly compete bc any match is literally biologically rigged!
everyone's always like 'men are threatening bc they're bigger and stronger and women are at a disadvantage' when it's abt being alone with them/themes of abuse etc but when it's abt sports that's suddenly all forgotten. of course women should be valued more in sports and get as much attention and chances as the men - but this ain't the way folks
yes to equality in sports! yes to letting women compete in sports where physical strength isn't vital to winning! yes to equal screentime! no to saying male athletes deserve actual broken bones bc this isn't a reality yet
