Hmmm. I’m wondering if that’s really a sexist question. It is in the sense that they

wouldn’t have asked the same question if she was Male. But when it is new it is quite natural to be initially curious about logistics.

Last year I helped out coaching a women’s team and pretty much the first questions I had were about how you deal with the changing room (you knock on the door), and how you deal with demonstrating technique (this does require adjustment to make me comfortable, although the women don’t give a s**t - they know the difference between coaching a technique and copping a feel).

The sexism is when the men’s team turn up to watch practice to laugh at the girls (despite their technique being largely better than the s**t local men’s team). When the female owner of the league insists they wear cut-off game jerseys, and when the technical consultant of the league tries to change rules to “make it easier for the girls”.
