The reason for sports to be sex segregated is purely and entirely because of women winning them btw. Biathalon for instance used to not be, then a woman won a race and within 2 weeks there was a sex separation. It is fragile men who made it this way.

Since we’re in the mood for strict accuracy in broadcast news, worth noting that a rival channel had a pundit - unchallenged - say asylum seekers in hotels committed 44% of sexual offences in one county, seemingly because she cannot understand basic maths.
A national newspaper journalist went on a British TV channel to claim police stats showed asylum-seekers committed 44% of sex crimes in Dorset.
This shocking claim was treated as fact by the channel which promoted the clip on social media where it was amplified by AI.
Except... it's bollocks.

An emerging theme of my Substack is that the arguments the Populist Right adopt can sometimes have 'something in them', but that they are the worst people to advance them with their constant simplism, emotional button pushing, owning the other side, and taking things to extremes.
