What we need is a committee, fairly representative of society, with proper recognition of the Progressive Stack, so that marginalized and traditionally underrepresented groups are given preferential status so that things are equal. That committee needs to come up with new sports, which fairly entail the talents and abilities of males and females, and all sexes in between, as well as non-binary versions, etc. The whole reason women aren't "as good" at soccer, American football, Canadian football, Aussie football, rugby, hockey, golf, tennis, baseball, auto racing, motorcycle racing, skiing, skating, jumping, vaulting, gymnastics, swimming, shooting, chess, hot dog eating, curling, quidditch, darts, cricket, rounders, softball, and such, is that the rules and parameters of the game were made by a sexist, misogynistic patriarchy. So, of course men are "better" at those games and sports. If the games and sports were invented in a matriarchal society, built on the strengths of women rather than men, then men would be bad at sports and women would earn all the large salaries and payouts while men's games and sports would be considered substandard and boring.
It's all a social construct. So, that committee I referred to should be tasked to change the rules and invent new games to make things equal.
“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. ... The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar
