A Fairfax press headline:
COVID-19 outbreak stops girls cricket team from attending competition, but not the boys
Families of teenage cricketers are angry that Cricket NSW has banned girls from travelling to Tamworth from the Central Coast for a statewide cricket competition, having allowed the boys to play the week before.
The next paragraph explains what the actual reason for this is:
But Cricket NSW head of cricket performance Greg Mail said the decision was based on updated government health guidelines for the COVID-19 pandemic that discouraged non-essential travel.
So it’s nothing to do with girls vs boys, it’s just a matter of timing, and the vagaries of the today this nonsense but tomorrow that nonsense policy regarding the Love You Long Time virus, what some mistakenly refer to as Covid-69, and which in this country and despite all the hooha in America is still treated as the Most Important Thing That Ever Happened.
But the Shitney Morning Hemorrhoid newspaper wants you to, at least initially, get upset about sexism against girl cricketers while the privileged boy cricketers get to galavant around the country state, and this alert woman journowhore, Caitlin Fitzsimmons, is going to find sexism and misogyny somewhere, and some day she’ll nail the big one, but not this time.
