  but is it ever used in reference to men? isnt it always women? that feels wrong.

    I’ve heard it in reference to men, but as a collective. “Our Socceroos”, “Our boys” etc. I can’t think of any examples where it was used in reference to a single male athlete.

    I can’t say I’ve heard it much at the Olympics but I’ve definitely heard it in reference to the footy.

    I do understand where you’re coming from I just don’t think it’s a negative.
