I honestly don't think it's a gender issue. It's more of a people issue, or an ignorance issue. Bad coaches will beget bad coaches, because they make the players under them think that behavior is normal.
A lot of truth in this statement. In most cases I don't think societal issues are gender based, race based, religion based, etc. They are people based. There are good people and bad people of every gender, race, and creed.
My daughter has had several female coaches over the years. Most were positive experiences for her, but some were not. She had a female soccer coach when she was 10 that she absolutely loved. Her high school basketball coach and high school softball coach are not people she thinks fondly of. However, the assistant high school softball coach is someone she has looked up to for years. Her current college coach is also female and she has been enjoying her time with that program (beyond all the covid stuff...).
She has been involved in sports from a young age, and at most stops I was either the coach or part of the staff. So we have had more conversations about coaching than I could count. Overall sports have been a positive experience for her. So much that she is taking a coaching minor at her university. After graduation she hopes to get involved in coaching at some level.
