I get you. They can play football, but we get to call them sluts.

It’s funny. As soon as I tore everyone’s argument to pieces over in that over thread they all just left and haven’t come back. That’s what happens when you’re right in here.

I view her situation similar to age groups for youth leagues and weight classes for fighting/powerlifting.
If someone wants to compete in a tougher group/class, it’s ok because there are no advantages conferred. If they want to compete in a younger or lighter group, it’s unfair.
I guess this is sexist, considering I’m essentially saying that the male groupings in these sports are tougher than the female groups, but it’s true in the vast majority of cases.[/quote]
It’s only sexist if only letting you compete in equal or tougher classes in boxing/powerlifting etx is weight-ist, age-ist, etc. It’s called acknowledging the damn truth. It’s the same reason that women aren’t allowed in combat MOS’s in the military still, because they ARE NOT the same. Equal in rights? Sure. Equal in capabilities? Nope. I’ve read account after account of stellar female Marines working with grunt units (attached to them, not a part of them), and their bodies physically break down MUCH faster than the men’s bodies, simply because they don’t recover as quickly as men, on average can’t withstand the same rigors and physical stresses, etc. So can a dude be in the Air Force? Sure. Should women be grunts in the Marines? Probably not.

I don’t think there’s any sexism here. If a girl wants to play with boys because that’s where the competition is then so be it. If a guy wants to play a sport with girls because that’s where the best competition is then so be it. The main difference is that the best competition usually goes to the boys.

The problem with this is that it could easily destroy women’s sports, if men were allowed to compete in all of them, or really, you just integrated them into the same league, which is more like what you’re suggesting.
Think about it…if there’s a football team with all women, and a guy who is barely capable of making it on a major league football team can either scrape by in the NFL, or be a stellar player in the women’s league and make much more money, what do you think will happen? If he and a bunch of other dudes in a similar situation decide they can do better for themselves competing against mostly women, over time all but the very best women, and eventually them too, will stop playing in that league.
First, that video was simultaneously hilarious and awesome. Most of it was slightly sped up and it looks so funny seeing what looked like mini professional football players sprinting that fast. It was obviously awesome because that girl is a beast.
Second, I think that in sports like football where they is not a female version, girls should be able to play, like in wrestling. If there is a second division for girls, such as softball, then they should have to play in their division. The same should go for boys in sports such as vollyball.
Third, the same goes for adults in NFL and MLB. This was not directly part of the topic, but I think if a woman is skilled and strong enough to make the team she should have the chance and be praised for it. The same goes for men in… Oh yeah, we already do everything. haha

I agree with you as far as equal rights but unequal capabilities. However, military duty is far different than boxing, football, and powerlifting. In those cases, if a woman wants to compete outside her class, I think it should be allowed.
actually, fuck it, I was wrong. I’m sure girls could get an advantage in the sense that guys may not want to hit them initially. The solution is for more women to compete in these tougher sports. That’s actually fighting inequality and reverse sexism properly. Also chicks who lift and wear yoga pants are great.

Ya, and her body can still be as developed as theirs at that age. She also seems to be extremely talented. It’s no wonder that she is doing so well. This is also an extreme case… you don’t see this happening all too often.
