I agree with the author.
As to participation numbers, I doubt that's and issue.
The Nordic countries probably have had women doing it, sanctioned or not, for a long time.
Just those countries, the US & Canada and the number of competitors is a non-problem.
I always figured it was based on some archaic "too dangerous fir girls" thinking but causing infertility is dumber than I expected.
