    I agree with you on all points, but I’d also like to add that there’s an argument the current system in sports discriminates towards women.

    In many sports, there’s a top league for men and a top league for women. Since men on average perform better, the men league is almost always favored, meaning there’s more money from advertisement and sponsorships, providing more lucrative contracts for the players.

    Even if a woman would be among the very best in a sport, she’ll never be able to actually play in the top league in the best teams with the most lucrative contracts, which I think is 100% sexist.

    The whole man/woman categorization is a social construct trying to simplify something incredibly complex. Sometimes the simplification works better (with typical cisgender people) and sometimes it really doesn’t describe the underlying complexities well (with transgender/intersex/etc).

    Yup, or another way to put it, parking in cities can’t be free or even close to free. If it’s free for the car owner, it means that the city is paying a lot yearly to keep the space as dedicated parking.

    Compare this to parking in rural areas. It’s still not completely free, but it costs so little it might as well be free.


  • Pretty much, because the organisers of this event won’t follow their own rules and does anything and everything to keep the genociders participating.

    To reiterate, the turmoil is not directly because of the genocide, but it’s because EBU (the organisers) refuse to allow its members to even vote on whether Israel (who have constantly been breaking the rules in recent years) are allowed to participate, despite EBU’s own rules clearly stating that such votings should be conducted.

    The double standard is unbelievably biased and has permanently destroyed the contest’s reputation.
