I think it's important that women's and men's events are run at the same time, with e.g. the finals on the same day. So they are given the same stage. It gives the women athletes the respect they deserve. I think sports where this is the case, it improves the women's game all around.
So many sports, it's hard to even find the women's competition to watch, and it's a completely separate thing (WNBA? Women's world cup football?). I notice this difference even within sports, in e.g. cycling. The mountain bike races have the women race, on the same course, on the same day as the men, filmed in the same TV coverage and commentators. Because of this, even all the male fans are discussing the women's race and following their favourite athletes. Where as in road cycling, who even knows when or what the women's Tour De Fance is!?
