It takes a hell of a lot of work to get to being a competitive athlete. I've put thousands of hours into track, and I know that all of my competitors put that much time into training as well, and that's the whole fun of the competition. The thought that a massive group of people - all biological men - could enter with a fixed advantage makes it so my work is completely wasted. Why bother training if I'll never have a shot at winning? There's absolutely no need to destroy women's sport like that just to be politically correct.
This kind of anti-competition argument is one of those things that really bothers me about the left.
Then you got suckered. If we let women and men compete in endurance sports openly and at commensurate levels, females would invariably win out. The conditions of the endurance game, x y and z, favor females, not males.
Lol, like I've never run distance with guys before? I've trained with guys my whole life, in all types of runs, from 100m to 20km. From my experience I'll agree men and women are much closer in endurance running than sprints or throws, but a)that's not what I want to compete in, and b)I just won't beat guys my age if we both train the same amount. I distinctly remember in a half marathon that I ran that I placed significantly better among the women than the general group.
Quote:I put my entire childhood into running...even today with a fucked up leg I;d put money on myself instead of the next random 100 joes because I'll run until and after I puke or shit myself...........but Ilm not going to bet on me if I had to race against female olympians because I'd lose even at my best, which I haven't been for 20 years.
Yeah, maybe you won't beat female olympians. I have no doubt I could outrun a weak or out of shape man easily. But once we both train competitively, I'm going to lose. That's the whole point - it's not about averages. It's about an extremely high level of competition where everyone is using every advantage they have.
