Why 'Women's Sports' is sexist

[The Grand Nudger]

Good god, I hope not.  I had my concerns about that back when the idea was first floated seriously.  Now that integration has become a reality the service is making changes.  The marines, for example, postponed their deadline for integration while they changed their physical fitness standards (and quality of life standards) to be the same for men and women.  This does mean that fewer women will pass (plenty of men fail too), they'd been traditionally held to a much, much lower standard.  Hopefully the other branches do the same..otherwise they're setting women (and our armed forces) up to fail both in their careers and on the battlefield.

Tell you what, I'd rather have been stuffed into coop cattlecars nut to butt than the boys club it was when I served. Nothing like month old unwashed pecker against your face to make you reassess your career decisions.

I agree.  For combat roles all should be held to the same standard.

Side bonus, for men..is that they'll get more regular access to showers.  A requirement for females in their own standards that nobody thought was important for males. No more telling us to sit in it and stew. Conversation in a foxhole will likely improve as well.

Why do I get the impression this is going to lead to "if women can't match men in the sports arena, why should they be allowed into combat"?

Personally, I don't think much of anyone should be allowed into combat, but that's a whole other issue.

You know what's childish? Pin pointing on that four eyes remark and completely ignoring leukocytes penis, which was demonstrably funny and degrading to you, you Sinai tow death pubic hair.

Are you seriously puffing your chest out over a small-dick joke that involved the word "penis?" Did you think it was clever because leukocytes are small? And now you're calling somebody a pubic hair? You can't just say "dipshit," "asshole," or "fuckstick" like an adult? Do you think you're being creative, pool?


You know what? All the flaming is beside the point, and the point is that you obviously know nothing about women, or how they feel about sports.


Ever heard of Title 9? It's a bill that singlehandedly destroyed men's sports in college because it requires that men and women have roughly equal numbers of athletes, the logic being that women like sports just as much as men, so if they have an equal opportunity they'd have the same numbers. No matter how many programs most schools created or what they did to get girls to join, most schools COULD NOT get enough women to join their programs to balance out their numbers, so their only option under the new law was to cut men's programming instead. Track teams, wrestling teams...basically everything but football and basketball was cut in many places.


What this seems to suggest is that not only are men generally more athletic, but they also have a generally greater predilection for competing in sports. Otherwise, creating the additional programs for women would have solved the problem. The women in that scenario weren't choosing not to play because they were being discriminated against or because they wanted to play with the boys, but because they just didn't really give a shit about sports. This is why the men's programs had to be cut.


But hey, your personal experience with Bertha the Soviet Hog Strangler beats out any actual, real-world evidence we could offer you, right? Right?

So now women don't give a shit about sports? Dude, I hope you aren't so clogged in you toilet that you think American women represents the whole women in the world. I know MANY women that are due hats sports fans, cricket to be specific, I can gladly provide proof, but hey what good is it going to do since you have no regard for them?

Also, I'd like to point out that I am being creative with my insults, instead of stocking with the usual ' fucking child ' I went with a whole different arsenal of insults that include insulting your penis AND your pubic hair. By now, you should just give up.(that youtube channel of yours)

So you discriminate against women AND men. Damn you're whole another breed of sexist.

I'm still trying to decide if you're seriously this obtuse or if you're just a shitty little troll.


What I said is that women, when given equal opportunity to compete, don't compete in sports as much as men do, which suggests that women who don't play sports do so because they don't give a shit about sports and NOT because there wasn't an equal opportunity to play. Now, repeat that back to me.


There is no such thing as a creative "small dick" joke, pool.


How is it discrimination to not want people shooting at each other in wars? Are you serious right now?

Hi pinky 
So given the same opportunity less women took participation therefore women have no interest? 
Son, it has nothing to do with you attaching a stigma that sports are for men?

Wow, troll. Way to fuck it up again. I say a thing, I ask you to repeat it back, and when it comes back, it's some bullshit I didn't say. Of course.


I didn't say no women are interested in sports. I said less women play sports, and the ones who don't play sports make that choice because they're not interested in sports, and not because they don't have access to them. The ones who do play sports are clearly interested in sports.


I really don't know how I can put that any simpler. Everyone else gets it, right? Please tell me pool is the only paramecium-brain in this thread who doesn't understand what I'm saying.

I'm pretty sure he's screwing around here. I wouldn't take any of it seriously.

Everything's fucking sexist. Being a man is probably sexist.
