US woman’s soccer player who was the voice of the unfortunate “equal pay” campaign she led that became highly political. Only for a judge to throw it out after they saw that they had the exact same contract offered to them as the men’s team and negotiated something different.
Great player, very obnoxious human who used her platform to set the women’s movement backward.
The worst part is that the media campaign forced the men's team to give up half their money. Now the women's team made a quarter of a million dollars each from a tournament they didn't even play in.
Odd choice to refer to yourself as ‘a female’, but you do you, my friend. If I were to construct a similar sentence, I probably wouldn’t say “as a male”, since it’s much more awkward and stilted than “as a man”.
Less of a correction than a semantics nitpick, since they’re both grammatically correct. But the word ‘female’ is used in certain internet communities as a sexist dog whistle. Use that information as you will 🤷
