Along came men who had their dix lopped off and dressed up as women

Cutting off the offending protuberance is not required. If I am not mistaken the bike champ still has full possession of Mr. Johnson. He simply “identified” as a woman. Just like the perverts who go into the Target restrooms.

The fact that a biological male with all his original equipment can compete on women’s athletics is the end of women’s athletics. You’ll soon see nothing but men at the top levels of every sport.

So much for your daughter getting that sport scholarship to get her through college. But maybe that’s a good thing. You don’t want your daughter to go to college these days. You don’t want you son to either.

No, there are not “many sports” in which women can compete with men. As the article above points out, the best women can’t even compete with the best 14 and 15 year old boys in most sports.

And no, there are no exceptions in strength oriented sports at the high level. Your feminism is showing.

Get off your garbage and NEVER call me a feminist!!
I have a room full of trophies and medals gained in competition both here in America and Europe where I competed regularly against hundreds of men.
My regular foursome in golf was comprised of three men and myself. I played from the men’s tees and won as often as not.
I never asked for quarter or exception because I was a woman. I earned my reputation and was always proud of my standing in the community.
My children and grandchildren are outstanding individuals. I have taught most of them to hunt and fish.
I have always contended that sports provide a learning experience for youngsters to learn how to deal with life’s vicissitudes. Whether male or female, dealing with success or failure is a learned ability. We are not born with it.
Unfortunately, girls spend too much time being influenced by fashion and glamour magazines and not enough time dealing with real life situations. There are your “Feminists.”
I speak from experience and not from some idiocy promulgated by “isms” or group-think.
Women should be entitled to the competitions they wish to participate in and not be deprived because some addle-brained men think they are not entitled.

I’m not in favor of the abolition of women’s sports, I’m more in favor of the abolition of coed youth sports. Girls can play softball if they wanna, but even if the best players among the girls can play baseball with the boys, that is guaranteed to change between the 13th and 15th birthdays. So it basically teaches a lie.

That star girl player who makes the Little League team humiliates the boy - every boy - who didn’t. And the star girl player who starts and stars, throws shade on the boys on the bench as well as those who didn’t make the team. It’s an unnecessary humiliation of those boys, whose athletic ability will, after all, transcend that of the “star athlete” girl in a year or three.

A couple of years ago the Little League champion team was from Philadelphia, and it featured a girl pitcher, who got lots of publicity locally. Wonder where she is now? I mean, the chance that she is even pretty good at baseball among boys of her current age is slight. A pro prospect, for sure she ain't.

Girls no doubt can benefit from competition among themselves. But nothing to be said in favor of girls’ teams can withstand the acceptance of ersatz “girls" into competitions putatively limited to, you know, actual girls.

There are differences. Historically, most men were farmers, and most women were homemakers. When most men were farmers, they learned farming from apprenticeship, as it were, to their fathers. And girls learned to be homemakers from their mothers. That has been scrambled. Boys have to figure out their mission in life, because their fathers, by and large, do not assume that their sons will follow directly in their footsteps (unless there’s a family business). And marriage is not considered the be-all-and-end-all for women, who can easily find themselves in need of a career after a couple of decades of marriage.

Basically a lot of jobs don’t need athletes to perform them anymore, and women don’t think they should have to defer to men in jobs that don’t require physical strength.

I agree.

Women and girls should have their sports leagues as men and boys should have theirs. As you brought out girls develop sooner than boys but the boys mature later and soon pass them in strength and ability.

The tranny thing is a complete farce and how any sports association can go along with it is beyond me, it has to be the liberal PC, feel good and inclusiveness thing.

“My regular foursome in golf was comprised of three men and myself. I played from the men’s tees and won as often as not.”

LOL, silly woman. We’re not talking about what happens at your hacker level, but about high-level sports. And as I pointed out, there are no physical sports where women even come close to the men. Heck, they can’t even compete with high-level 15 year old boys.

Re shooting, I don’t even consider that a sport. It’s more like darts. It takes skill, but it’s not a highly physical endeavour.

And I’ll call you whatever the heck I want. You reek of feminism because you are a feminist — just not a third wave type. But it reflects a type of mental illness nonetheless.

You’re the certified idiot in this discussion. Obviously you don’t know what so called “feminism” is all about. You should be thankful there are women like me. Seems as if any female is a feminist to you. Well buster, you’ve got a lot to learn.
Obviously SKILL doesn’t count with you. Only muscle. Even when it’s all between the ears.

Also you obviously know nothing about Trap, Skeet, or all the hunter-oriented shooting sports. Pitiful you.
