Are women taken for granted in sports?

Answer 1

As a male athlete myself, my opinion is that women are not taken for granted just looked at on a lower level than male sports. The reason this is, is because male sports are often more aggressive and physical than female sports. I'm not saying that females are a lesser race, but most men all have issues with pride making the sports more like battles for dominance more than anything else. Women sports in my opinion are much slower paced and more controlled than male sports. The main reason women would be taken for granted in sports is because the population would rather see a rough, intense game rather than a slower paced strategic game.
