Isn't it a bit of a fallacy that this is a problem that needs to be fixed?
NJ folks put a lot of effort into promoting women's racing. Then last year there were situations where women complained, loudly, where there weren't women's races and then literally didn't show to the events where there were. In one well flamed case a women's teamed who loudly complained actually had a team training ride the day there was a well paying women's crit. Aforementioned promoters now have a **** it attitude.
I hate women's racing. I hate that our masters racers have huge fields and are shorter when there's 12 women taking 18 mph pulls for 40 minutes and then sprinting, when the simple math is my race could be a more reasonable duration.
I wish they all did the hot yoga in my wife's class.
No offense intended, but fact is the mediocrity that's allowed to exist directly impacts my own racing.
