Join us for another instalment of the Unfairer Sex. This episode we’re discussing equality in sport. Why are so many school girls dropping out of sport even though a majority of women wish they were sportier? Where is the media exposure for our role models and why aren’t female athletes paid as much as men? We also discuss the flawed reasons some give to justify inequality sport and shine a light on the double standards that still exist. If you're interested in learning more about the inequality in sport, we recommend the following documentaries:

EDIT: Ely would like to put her hands up and say she was incorrect when she said Team GB women's hockey 2016 Olympic final was the most watched game during the olympics. The real story is, the BBC pushed back its nightly News at Ten broadcast in order to show the game in full after viewers complained about being forced to channel hop in the semi-final match: https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/other-sports/team-gb-hockey-golden-girls-8659788
