FTR, it's a good thing to me.

For all of the sports I've watched, I haven't watched a lot of women's sports. And if I do, I don't actively think of them in terms of gendered terms. Maybe I just view them as genderless. That might not be the best thing.

But reading your post made me think of how even reading about women's sports adds a dimension that gives an opportunity to reconsider viewpoints on athletes. Obviously, there are differences between the two sexes, but not necessarily a hierarchy or rivalry between the two.
