Women’s sports exist because they can’t actually compete against men. The division is inherently and explicitly exclusionary. They were created to give 50% of the population a chance to compete on as fair of a stage as possible.
Women’s sports exist because men wouldn’t allow them to even play competitive sports, period. Women’s leagues were created as a conciliatory gesture from misogynists, not out of some sense of chivalrous duty to uphold fairness and equality.
There are no rules against it today. Go back in time 100 years and you have a culture of women being excluded from sports in general in favor of them learning “women’s work” or being homemakers. The 14th amendment was the catalyst that allowed women to begin participating in competitive sports as more than just a passtime or a hobby.
That’s how it works today, but historically that has not been the case. Women even being allowed to play sports is less far removed from the present day than you might imagine.
Women’s sports was not created to protect women. Women’s sports were created to protect the egos of men who would place under women. If women competed with men, there would be a bunch of butthurt men who would be angry they aren’t as good.
For example, the Battle of the Sexes tennis matches had so many men coping and seething when a women beat a man in a highly publicized tennis match after the guy was talking mad shit. You can look up any number of examples like this where after a woman does well in a sport, a seperate league for women is established.

That’s an interesting take when there’s generally no rules preventing women from competing in professional men’s leagues.

There isn’t men sports. There are sports, and women sports. The league men play in allow both genders.
Lol, no they don’t. Some do, but many don’t.
For games like golf, up until relatively recently, women weren’t even allowed to be club members.
Let’s not rewrite history.
