"Do you have something to say about gender equity and inclusion in Australian Rules football clubs? If you're involved with Aussie Rules as a player (past or present), volunteer, parent, regular spectator, umpire, executive or in any other way, we want to know what you think about women's participation in football." https://www.ceriph.org/exploring-gender-in-aflw-community-footballclubswa

Columnist: I'm standing up for what I believe in! Protecting women's sport! And I'll keep standing up for it, no matter how much those snowflakes try to silence me and my right to free speech!

Citizen: That's fantastic! You know, female athletes have to put up with so much vicious misogyny and abuse, especially on social media. Some men really can be snowflakes when it comes to women's sport.

Columnist: No! I'm raising the big issue in women's sport, and I'm being /attacked/ for it!

Citizen: Really?! People are attacking you for saying female athletes deserve equal pay for equal work?

Columnist: Not that one! I'm talking about something far more serious, affecting the health and wellbeing of female athletes. And even the very integrity of women's sport itself!

Citizen: Do you mean how sports science focuses almost exclusively on male athletes, leading to women suffering anterior cruciate ligament injuries at six times the rate of men (citation: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/26/magazine/acl-tear-women-girl-sports.html )?

Citizen: Or do you mean how elite women's sport is routinely relegated to worse venues and TV coverage, with less sponsorship and promotion?

Columnist: No! I'm talking about protecting women's sport from the scourge of men transitioning for the sole purpose of winning at women's sport!

Citizen: Why would a professional male athlete who's not trans want to go through all the challenges and discrimination of transitioning for less pay, less TV coverage, fewer sponsorships, smaller crowds, less promotion, higher injury risk, worse venue, online abuse, and rampant misogyny, just to win at women's sport?

Columnist: Because *winning*!

Citizen: Can you give an example of where this has actually happened?

Columnist: ...

Citizen: And what do you propose to do about it?

Columnist: Totally dismantle democracy, install a totalitarian dictatorship, arrest or kill anyone who disagrees with said despot, and deport ethnic minorities en masse. Also we'll use it to justify rolling back all healthcare and civil rights to trans people, establishing that human rights exist at the arbitrary will of our overload, which the despot will use arbitrarily against all women and any other individuals or groups he disagrees with.

Citizen: That seems a bit... extreme.

Columnist: It's all to protect women's sport.

Citizen: And what will you do about the other issues I raised?

Columnist: Well, if any of them, such as research into sports medicine for women or facilities for women's sport, require public funding, then we'll cut the funding and give the money back to rich supporters of our despot as a tax cut.

Citizen: I see. Say, just out of curiosity, who do you think will win the grand final in the AFLW this year?

Columnist: I honestly don't care. I'm not into women's sport, sorry.

(Americans: Notice the distinct lack of parking? You can do that if your stadium is next to a major station near downtown, on a train network that extends to the suburbs.)

I'm not a North supporter, but since it's near the new Arden metro station, I stopped by.

This is the North Melbourne Kangaroos (AFL team) training ground.
