>>BTW, it wasn't much better at home - women had equal rights on paper, and were often in managerial roles (two consecutive principals in my elementary schools, and a dozen others I knew), but there was the disparity almost everywhere ("we can't force people to vote this way, we can only educate them and work on achieving that in the future") and pretty much nobody watched girls' sports, unless they were really top notch. At least we didn't have any cheerleaders.

I have even less hope if nobody talks about it. Even under the links you posted, "controversy" means "there have been accidents and team Xxx is now forbidden to do yyy", not this glaring disparity.

And of course, the situation in retro-transitioning countries is getting worse than it was. With churches being pulled out of their dark corner, all sorts of patriarchal behaviors are having a home run. I've heard that some of our daughters' friends there have already accepted their new roles... even though they are just graduating. O tempora, o mores...
