There isn't men sports. There are sports, and women sports. The league men play in allow both genders.

That's how it works today, but historically that has not been the case. Women even being allowed to play sports is less far removed from the present day than you might imagine.

Lol, no they don't. Some do, but many don't.

For games like golf, up until relatively recently, women weren't even allowed to be club members.

Let's not rewrite history.
