I feel like you’ve apparently never seen a male sports journalist on your teevee.

It’s not irrelevant. Generally, sports takes that uncritically accept the privileges and biases associated with (usually white) power structures are aligned with the political party currently most strongly allied with entrenched societal power.

Hey, what time does the Puppy Bowl start?

Not that it’ll make any difference, but read your first comment again. You interpreted two incidents of domestic violence by black men as scary, menacing, and highly masculinized.

Confederacy had a draft too.

Fair enough. I feel totally confident, then, in describing you as a sexist jackass.

“missy” is dismissive and misogynist. Don’t use it.
