Sardaukar Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 11 hours ago, R011 said: Sex is the biological part defined by chromasomes and genetalia and most people are either male or female with a few being intersex. Gender is identity and while the vast majority of poeple identify their biological sex as their gender, others do not. Hence the people who identify as trans or non-binary. You can say trans etc. shouldn't be so, that there are issues that need to be addressed, like washrooms and athletics, that it's a moral failing or a mental illness, and those are opinions that can be defended or attacked, but saying there's no such thing just flies in the face of reality. Not instigating that sort of discussion. I am fine with people being whatever sexuality they think they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Society bending in all ways to accommodate every perceived handicap? No. What's happening in Women Sports is a travesty. Other examples have been given.

But then, I once lost arm-wrestling match to a woman.... (Yea, she was a woman born as woman and damn she was strong!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the sport. Actual American varsity high school teams are a strong match for the world class women's teams in several sports, like soccer. In some sports, like shooting, they're competitive; in some forms of drag racing, they're an advantage, because of lower weight.

Every time the women start complaining about making a fraction of what NBA players make, that story is brought up and that tamps down the complaints about wages.

It all boils down to two points most people would want pay equality for woman athletes, but most people wouldn't watch woman's sport, beach volleyball is an exception.

R011 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 When womens sports earn as much money as mens, they can and should be paid the same. Until then, they should be paid commesurate with what they bring in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivanhoe Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Can't blame them too much. In the US, the BP murdered something like 50 LEOs. Most ambushed and shot in the back while responding to a service call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead they cast the BPs and their leadership cadre as a 'civil rights movement'==Kinda like how Jackson and Sharpton are 'reverends'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
