Without separating the sexes, women would be destroyed in every sport. There will never be true equality until there are no separations. We can play nice and let women have their day in the spotlight but until there is only one league and division, it’s just not equal. Pay them what they are worth. If they do the same work, get the same ratings, then they deserve the money.
Female jockeys have competed at the highest level.
Mind you they are sat on a horse!
You're trolling, but I'll respond anyway.
Women are at a substantial disadvantage in horse racing, due to the weight requirements. To be a good jockey you need to both be very light and very strong. It is very hard for women to get there since women have more essential body fat than men. That's one of the big reasons you see so few women as top jockeys.
Women are at far less of a disadvantage in other equestrian sports.
