Why is it ok to list the weights of male athletes but not female athletes?

I'm watching a college softball game and one of the pitchers looks like she's twice the size of the other players. I was curious to see what she weighed, I was guessing 200 minimum, maybe 250 or more. So I went to the team's roster page, and they list heights only, not weights. But if I go to the men's baseball roster page for the same school, they list heights and weights. I'm all for equality, and I think if they list the men's weights they should also list the women's weights. I'm not trying to be sexist. If I saw a male baseball player who looked like that, I would look up his weight as well.

Same reason you get paid more for the same amount of work.

To make it equal they would remove the men's weights. That's how it goes.
