The gender equality debate is real! And while it may not be a man’s sporting world given the opportunities afforded to women in democratic societies, we live in an existence ruled and intrinsically rooted in the practicality of commerce and economics.
After all, sports is a business, plain and simple! However, therein lies the argument. Misogyny, an ugly term basically describing contempt for women, is often blamed for the current state of affairs that plagues their gloomy sporting reality.
While that notion certainly and rightfully, in some instances, swayed significant opinion in previous eras given the actual cultural and historical challenges faced by women in the pursuit of equal rights, the present-day application of the same argument loses some of its proverbial lustre against the weight and scrutiny of factual economics.
