I know you really want to get angry at someone who doesn’t know about basketball and thought that the two groups were “NBA” for men and “WNBA” for women, but that’s literally how I have always heard those two divisions named. So call me as hateful as you like, but the truth is I have no idea what to call the men’s league now. I’ve never seen anyone call it MNBA anywhere. Certainly not the press.
Right, because of overwhelming sexism in sports. I don’t “hate” you or feel any emotion towards you. I’m pointing out how sexism in sports isn’t just the Olympics, it’s so pervasive we even see it in things like the colloquial use of the term ‘NBA.’ If someone is concerned about bigotry in sports, then wouldn’t they want to examine other areas? Don’t you think - as an ostensible ally - that that’s weird too?
I’ve been accidentally misogynistic too, because we are raised in a society that have given us propaganda to be misogynistic. It’s worth it to self examine and apologize when that happens. No one is an angel. Grow up, be humble, and learn.
