So uh, yeah, just a gentle warning about the logical consequences of taking a hard market-based position against women in baseball ... you're kind of obliquely making a very hard Critical Theory critique  |
You just lost everyone who was inadvertently making that argument

To be clear, I don't think baseball or OOTP is sexist in that sense at all haha

I don't either
Just like I don't agree with the...poster...above who claims that 80% of people would be "upset" to the point of spending less on the game if non-males were added. Baseball leans conservative, but not THAT conservative.
Don't know if that was some Dunning-Kruger in action, or if they were just trying to make themselves feel better by pretending more people share their out-dated views than really do.
Either way, if the few people who were so upset by the addition of non-males to the game, quit buying the game I'd still consider it a net win were it my business.
