the concussion data actually shows headgear does little to prevent concussions—it’s more for cuts and fractures—so the women's amateur rule feels outdated. i see it firsthand in my mumbai clinic: teenage girl boxers coming in with concussions despite the guards, while the men’s amateur scene removed them for better visibility and movement. my life in sports medicine tells me this isn’t a safety step, it’s a lingering bias in how we "protect" women athletes.
