She did the equivalent of pulling the ladder up behind her. She is making it harder for every other woman who wants to compete in these leagues. There was no emancipatory or political nature to her decision. It was entirely self interest at the cost of other women.

I don’t agree with that comparison at all. That comparison is used for women who get in powerful positions and then contribute to the oppressive system. For example, a professional woman gamer who denies all the factors that contribute to the low amount of professional women gamers and claims that women are bad gamers and that she’s an outlier. If this woman made such claims then I’d agree with you, but otherwise she’s just someone who selfishly played a system that is oppressive towards women. She’s not a liberator or an activist, but she’s also not protecting the oppressive system.
