And they exist even in sports like tennis, where the “performance gap” between men and women isn’t really a thing

Men’s soccer is by far the biggest sport in the world. Women’s soccer is only big in America. America has more registered women’s soccer players than all European countries combined. Of course they’re successful.

Tennis players like Henin and Clijsters have talked about the difficulty of sports and kids and how they’re at odds (Henin retired and ended a glittering career early to have children). Players and ex-players like Heather Watson and Annabel Croft have talked about the difficulty of playing tennis on their period.
