1/20 🧵

I have been hearing more frequently the narrative that women's sport apparently exists as a 'protected category' so that women can win (because on this account without it no woman will ever win again)

This is: a) *not* the reason why women's sport exists as a category, 2/20

and b) it is *not* true that women will never win again.

This narrative is profoundly paternalistic and keeps women small.
