Current Events > Separating sports by sex doesn't make sense.

I'd read that most of the better players on the women's team weren't playing in that game. I'm sure some women lost to some boys, but your statement is pretty disingenuous.

Even so, what about the USWNT that included their best players like Rapinoe and Morgan who also lost to a boys team.

Lol i even uploaded included a video clip of a slightly above average Wilfred Zaha who soloed the women's Crystal Palace club.

Usually the people advocating for unisex leagues don't have a clue what they're talking about sports-wise.

If they did, they would not advocate for them, for very obvious reasons.

It's not woke, it's stupid. Learn the difference.

If you had fight sports like MMA or kickboxing and allowed nut shots women would win, IMO, as long as you keep weight classes (no 115 lbs woman fighting a 189 lbs guy)

I have always said that we should remove all leagues and let the cream rise to the top.

Anyone can join. Kids, Elderly, disabled, any weight or height, Men, women or other.

Equal shots for everyone.

Allow performance enhancing drugs as well, and only the winner survives

this would definitely kill womens sports, but also... it's an intriguing idea. sure womens sports is fun for thousands and thousands of women. but wouldn't it be cool if one woman made it to the NBA thru a combination of talent, physical ability AND the opportunity to actually have good training and competition? i'm not willing to throw out this idea completely, basically. and i bet a good number of women would be good enough to play high school and lower sports.

I think women should be allowed to join the mens league but not vice versa. If theres women capable enough to compete with men, let them. But dont drown most women out of sport just because maybe one if were lucky might get good enough in some sport

Assuming you are talking about Karsten Braasch vs. the Williams sisters. He wasn't even in the top 200, just finished golfing, and had some alcohol in his system.

He said he also played like someone ranked 600 to keep the game fun.

High school sports should be.

Kids sports shouldn't though but Highschool Sports absolutely should be.

I heard of some woman that wanted to fight male ufc before there was a female division and wasnt allowed

There have been numerous studies showing reflexes, muscle mass, bone density, propensity to not get injured, etc. all favor men and to a substantial degree. This is in addition to observable things like world records, sprint times, weight maxes, etc. This is not a debate, men at both peak and average are physically more capable than women.

Women's sports are kept segregated from men's sports not for men, but for women. Men would dominate each and every sport and women would be pushed to the side if they were unsegregated.

Maybe I'm mistemebering but I seem to recall reading she did compete against men in judo cause the women's side was giving her no real competition.

Sure that's different though

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


No i seem to remember reading she was made to face men cause she was just steamrolling the female competition. I'll have to look it up it's been awhile and human memory can be faulty

The world's strongest man? It's still Georgian super heavyweight Lasha Talakhadze, who capped the world weightlifting championships by breaking his own world record, totaling 484 kilograms (1,067 pounds) between the snatch and clean and jerk.

The heaviest total (combined snatch and clean & jerk) by a female weightlifter in the 71 kg weight category is 267 kg (588 lb 10 oz), achieved by Wangli Zhang (China) on 6 November 2018 at the IWF World Championships in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan

Sure, let's make them both linebackers on opposite teams, and see what happens!

...That said I have 0 investment in professional sports. I would find it interesting if some sports allowed both men and women to compete and simply chose the best person.

Oh yeah? This is new lore. :)

One of the things brought up in the article was segregation based on ability instead of gender. The article doesn't do great on it, but the implication is that there wouldn't be just one group, but multiple in different factors, instead of the gender binary.

So an overly convoluted system to comfort those who cant accept the average adult male is stronger and faster than the average adult woman.

It doesn't do a good job explaining it because the implications are just dumb for feel good points. It wants to dance around basic human biology to spare feelings that ultimately wouldn't benefit woman.

The only lines that have been blurred between males and females in physical ability is first and foremost: American women have been gaining weight. Also significant is that American men have been getting weaker, but they aren't coming close to female strength

Fencing would have to be rearranged to have rules making it unwatchable just to make women competitive. Also in a combat sport, why didn't you mention that men have a reach advantage?

That's so cool. What's JSA?

no comments, CE?

also @gladius , HEMA and JSA? That is fucking cool! What is your fave sword? How do you rank the cutlass?

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


I was obsessed with the Gladius after playing eternal darkness. It seems to be the perfect sword, if a bit short.

I am obsessed with cutlass-type swords because theyre lighter but not as light as a rapier and you can do all sorts of circular movements with them :)

boys are inherently bigger, faster, and stronger than girls

It can be challenged all you want, it's a fact and always will be until we turn all of our sons into women.

I would find exhibition matches (doesn't go against their record) interesting if we could get health/fitness experts to first study the opponents and deem them within an acceptable range of each other when it comes to height weight muscle mass etc.
