Therefore they turned to “victim” wars. Race, sex, LGBT, they are all perpetual victims even if they were born with a silver spoon. They use this idea of victim hood to inflame the ignorant against the traditional mores of America. THAT is what this is all about. If you thought communism died with the USSR you were wrong. It is now called Globalism and is well on the way to the destruction of the US from the inside out.

No. First of all that would be unworkable. And it most certainly wouldn't erase the differences (physical weaknesses and strengths on grounds of gender). As I tried to point out before, I wouldn't stand a chance against a male swimmer even if he were shorter than me. I am trying to think of a female advantage when competing with men in sports. Help me out, Cro. Am too distracted this minute to come up with an answer. Needle work?

Plus some people are just not born the right shape or size for certain sports and we don't think it's unfair to them to allow people who are better suited physically to compete and win prizes for that sport, do we? <br /><br />Perhaps the solution would be to have size/weight categories for sports, rather like boxing or weight-lifting, irrespective of sex or gender, so that people who are more physically similar compete against each other. I'm sure someone will point out that the physical composition of the different sexes means this wouldn't be completely fair either, but it seems fairer and a more understandable process than allowing large male-bodied athletes to parachute into women's sport and, no surprise to anyone, win everything going. <br /><br />I can't understand why a competitive athlete would want to do that - what's the point in competing under those circumstances? But if they continue to do this they will destroy women's sport so we should look for practical solutions rather than taking pot-shots, IMO.
