Why aren't men and women treated equally in sport?

Why is it that gender equality is sought after in every respect except sport? Why will there be a 100m mens sprint and a 100m women's sprint at the Olympics this year, not just a 100m sprint, all competitors welcome?

To be honest, I'm fucking sick of it. If we are to live in a world of gender equality, then men and women must compete together in sport.

The very notion of a "mens race" and a "womens race" suggests that men and women aren't equal. If this isn't the case (and according to the feminists, it's not), then there is no longer a need for two 100m sprint finals, two marathons, two basketball leagues, and so on.

So women, make up your mind. If your equal to men (and I believe you should be), then you must be equal in every way, no exceptions. You can't pick and choose.

Because women are slow as fawk compared to men. They want all the benefits of being treated like a man but none of the consequences

I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
 
professionalmonkeyI'm confused. Are you for or against gender equality?

I personally think it's bullshit. We deserve equal rights, but to say men and women are equal is absurd.

For gender equality, providing it is in every respect, not just some.

 

What is the purpose of men and women competing together if the women would NEVER win?

Men 100m world record is about a second faster than women. Men marathon is about 17 minutes faster than women. 17 MINUTES! That's 3.5 miles at that pace haha

In fact, the ONLY Olympic sport with records that are timed or measured (i.e. not ambiguous scoring like gymnastics), where women beat men is the discus. And guess what? The women use a lighter disc!

Sorry bud, but it's better to have separation otherwise women wouldn't compete at all.

I know that women would never win, but hey, tell me when the Vietnamese basketball team last won anything. Physical differences aren't just confined to gender.

 

because men and women aren't equal from a physical perspective. Men are inherently faster and stronger than women. OP you're a complete dumbfuck. Please sterilize yourself for the sake of humanity.

trazer985Equality in mathematics is denoted by the equals sign.

It is often confused with the identity sign. (the triple decker equals)

They are very different things.

One says the left can sometimes equal the right, the other says the left is always the same as the right. I am pro equality, contra identity.

WTF are you talkin bout willis

 

It would be coed but no women would be good enough to make it so it wouldn't be a hybrid NBA/WNBA

No one really gave a good rebuttal to his post.

I was thinking the current WNBA teams would join the 30 NBA teams and all of them would play each other, which would be dumb as hell.

If people want to watch coed sports, I'm pretty sure the men would overrun the women in almost all cases.

 

I know OP is trolling but this thread still fucking pissed me off. Just grumpy from a 10 hour CFA study session.

My name is Nicky, but you can call me Dre.
 

what does trolling mean?

"Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid"
