Once again, 'Strong' women need men

I pointed out a while back, how the captian of the England womens football team, thinks women need men to solve their problems
Lioness captain Leah Williamson reveals period pain nearly scuppered her game
Yes, like many women, she had a problem with periods. Dealing with it though, she thinks is beyond the abilities of humble women
'If men had periods we would have figured out a way to stop them by now,' says the English defender as she reveals her health struggles 
Yes. because as I said at the time:
Men are the problem solvers
Men haven't solved this problem because is doesn't affect them
It affects women, but they are incapable of solving problems
Is that really what she thinks? That period pains could only be resolved by men with an incentive? It certainly seems that way

Well apparently, womens rugby is of the same opinion
Women’s sports kits are over-sexualised and not period proof. If this affected men, it would be fixed by now
Seriously? I think this one is even worse than the above. She is saying that women can't even dertermine the kit they wear for sports
A lot of her gripe is about school kits, and granted, it's not as easy for a child to say no to authority, but surely if there's an issue, the adults in the room can spot it and get to grips with it

So have all the adult females who did PE at school, forgotten that there used to be an issue that needs resolving? Or, as she seems to imply in the article, are they simply incapable of action, because they are women and wouldn't be able to figure out a solution like men would?
The England Lionesses switch from white shorts to blue is a step forward
So up to now, all they've managed to achieve is changing the colour of their shorts? Did they ask a man to do it?

And it's not just football and rugby
Last year, the sprinter Dina Asher-Smith revealed that the calf cramps that ruined her chances of a 100m gold medal were caused by her period, and called for more research into female athletes’ cycles. “I feel if it was a men’s issue,” she said, “there would be a million different ways to combat things.”
Only the men can solve this
It's just that at the moment, we can't be arsed. Take an asprin or something
