But.. but.. how else are you going to be able to market a female champion? Isn't that more important than obtuse principles like fair competition, a level playing field, and actual equality between men and women in one of the very few spheres it can be achieved?

You have that in the other fifty-odd events. Stop bitching and moaning about nothing.

So only 2% of the events spread a very derogatory message about the skill level of female events, so it's okay? Would it have been okay if only two percent of the buses in Alabama forced Negroes to the back? Right now, the actual, normalized "gender gap" in wages is probably 2%, should the feminists stop railing to remove it because it's only 2%

One segregated bracelet event is all it takes to spread the demeaning implication that females need segregated events because they cannot compete as equals. And that's one segregated event too many.
