I meant when and in what sport “a woman embarrassed a man by winning” leading to gender segregation of the sport. Olympic shotgun skeet seems like an example, but that’s a pretty esoteric “sport,” so using that as an example to generalize about sports more broadly seems poorly conceived.
As I noted below, most major sports leagues in the US don’t have and, with the exception of baseball (which wasn’t because “a woman embarrassed a man by winning,” it was just basic sexism/patriarchy), never had rules about gender segregation. Women have always been eligible to play in the NBA, NHL, NFL, etc.
Are you talking about a specific country or something?
Figure skating, Olympic shotgun skeet, and baseball, at least.
