Pretty much a book about the history and current state womens roles in sports. Part of it makes a case for the benefits for girls involved in sports. The strongest evidence supports things like higher chance of using protection and talking with partners about sexual history and seeking out sexual health information. While lessening the chances being victim of sexual assault evidence isn't quite as strong it's there. Also the flip side of that is athletes of all genders are less likely to be sympathetic to rape and support more victim blaming stances than non athletes. Uhh. ..I don't know if I believe that last paragraph AT ALL. Sources on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sources on that? https://getinclusive.com/campus-save-athletic-teams-rape-myths/ This is only college athletics. The protective benefits for girls i referenced earlier in sports seem to lessen for female athletes in college than in high school and before. Possible reasons given are they have more freedom to socialize with males in party atmospheres thus creating more oppurtunity for sexual assault or poor choices.
