And I think some men definitely feel emasculated seeing women who are better/more powerful than they are, whereas others don't. And maybe for women who don't like watching it it's just a reverse case of that, that they identify with women who are stereotypically 'weaker', so it makes them uncomfortable? I don't know, I've never enjoyed football regardless of gender lol, but like I said if people like it just for the sport that it is then I can't think why else gender would even come into it. Unless women players really aren't any good at it for whatever reason even at professional level?

I think perhaps you should go watch some football
