28. That doesn't mean the sports themselves are inherently misogynistic.

The men have a 100-year head start on us, so it'll take awhile. As long as we keep Title IX intact, I think we'll continue to make forward progress. The WNBA does pretty well, and other sports like tennis are almost equal in the attention they pay to men and women.

Football and baseball don't have women's teams on a national or even regional level, so it's hard (and not really fair) to call the two sports misogynistic.
