Re: This is pretty classic.
The double standard about letting women compete against men exists because men are clearly athletically superior to women. You're position would be well founded if a)men weren't superior athletes (which they obviously are) and b)you actually believed that women were equal to men in athletic ability (which i doubt you do).

[/ QUOTE ] This is obviously true - until you talk to a woman who wants a women's professional league (WNBA, whatever the women's soccer league is, etc.). Then she'll give you a whole line of BS about how women are just as good as men and can compete at the highest levels just like the men can.

Yeah. I'll take the 2004-2005 UNC men's basketball team against whoever just won the WNBA title. I would bet my house and car on the Heels.

Re: This is pretty classic.
Women in general are clearly at an athletic disadvantage vs. men in general, although there are obviously exceptions. However, if there is a woman is is good enough to play in mens events despite their inherant disadvantage, i don't see why it should bother the men. Clearly however the reverse is not true, and VdV is just acting like an idiot here.

What I'm saying is let's now apply this the other way, not to let men into women's leagues, but to call out women on their BS when they say they're just as good as men are and deserve their own big-time leagues. They can't have it both ways - either they're equal or they're not.

I just think calling them out on their B.S. is a better response than signing up for the local field hockey team.

However, I also see it to be almost establishing a base supporting argument. It's forcing the issue of whether men and women are equal or are they not.
