WNBA Incidents Expose Misogyny in Sports Culture

No one hates labour more than me but putting my life in a man's hands sounds more daunting than a 9-5. — Vuyiswa @becca_mts The women before us fought for the right to work not because labour is fun but because relying on men financially resulted in financial abuse & restricted women's freedom.
