oh oh, I know the answer to this one! Ever since cycling was popular at the turn of the last century there was a huge push to make it unappealing to women, to the point they had "doctors" come up with made up diseases like bicycle face. Bicycles provided women with too much freedom. Fast forward to modern times and professional cycling is dominated by men, with a refusal to have a full women's TdF, podium girls to show women as a prize to be won instead of trying to win themselves and other social injustices. If professional bike racing, already a complete joke, were to embrace female teams I bet the industry would reply with more WSD bikes, maybe more women would work at bike shops, and you would see more female riders
