Sports is the last place you want to argue for gender equality.
The very existence of women's sports is due to the idea that women cannot compete with men on an equal footing. You could just have sports and not divide the competitors by gender or sex at all! You could just have an NBA and not and WNBA. If a woman can play in the NBA, that is great.
(So people pointing out that Nadal's 21 Grand Slam titles are still behind various women with more than 21 titles. Yes, that is true. But Serena did not have to beat Federer or Andy Murray for a title.)
