I get that this might feel like an extremely online take. So did Socrates’ takes to the people of Athens. It takes a distance from society to be able to see its structure and question its base assumptions.
I think your comment was an excellent articulation of what I was thinking, although I think you risk a significant distraction by using Afghanistan as an example when talking about sex and gender. I think comparing yourself to Socrates is overly aggrandising.
But yeah I agree. It’s not that men are better at sports, it’s that the patriarchy has defined “sports” as what realmen™ are better at.
