something that's genuinely kinda fucked up about figure skating is that no matter what, even if they skate the exact same program (same elements, same goe's, same pc's, everything), a woman will never be able to get the same score as a man. it is literally rigged in the man's favour.

#the max program components score for a man is 50. and the max for a woman is 40.#perfect tens on the bottom and the man will still score higher #and it makes literally no sense too. pc's are still scored between 0.25 and 10.00 it's literally just the factor that's different #(the women's pc factor is 1.33 and the men's is 1.67 btw)#this is literally for the same level too-- seniors.#i would get it if that was the diff for juniors. like it the junior pc factor was 1.33 and the senior was 1.67 #but nooooooo it's based on gender #and for straight up no viable reason #yayyy sexism in figure skating! we love to see it!#<- /s #skatong
