How long will women have to prove themselves to get the recognition from men?

When will men realize that they are not better, we are just different. It’s hard to compare women versus men.

Why do average men think that they can beat pro women?

LACK OF CONFIDENCE! and blatant sexism.

Gender roles from a young age affect this of course, but whose fault is this? At some point, a man should be able to determine that some women are better than them at whatever rec game they are currently playing. Especially if they are 5 foot 4. Welcome to my ted talk.

As a woman who has played many sports since the age of three, you can only have this conversation so many times before you actually go insane. From guys friends to coworkers, no man has ever seemed to respect me as a potential opponent in a sport.Im sure if a female ballet dancer had a conversation about a ballet competition, an average basketball player with low self esteem would tell her that he would wipe the floor with her.

Although there are physical differences that set apart men and women in alike sports, women still deserve the respect and recognition. Like I said, you cannot compare the two. Men were made different for a reason.

But nobody says anything about male and female gymnasts, because women dominate that sport. Women are more flexible in general, just like you can say men are stronger in general (thanks to testosterone).

What will it take for women athletes to get respect from average men?

Well who says we even want or care about it anymore?
