Heard it described on Radio 5 (hate 5ive) as this.
Now, I like calling out reactionary old thickies as much as anyone, but wasn't it "The Ashes" for 100+ years before there was a Women's equivalent (which there should be, for the hard of thinking)?
Just because you start a similar/equivalent series to an existing one, doesn't mean you can take the name (or force the original to change/amend their name) - why can't it be The Ashes and The women's Ashes?
Happy to be educated/told that I'm worse than Vaughan...
p.s. I'm ok for it to be England v Australia (men) and England v Australia (women) if that helps me not be a thickie...
