Default Should sports at all levels be desegregated?

That is women and mens sports combined?

These feminists argue "yes".

Just as an aside, when I was in the 5th grade, we all ran the 50 yard dash, and if I'm not mistaken, I was first place, tied with a girl.

Meaning that girl ran faster than every boy in the school except me. Pretty exceptional.

Then boys hit puberty and the gap widens quite significantly.

I say bring it on, see what happens.

That would solve Title IX. Too bad the girls would be relegated to playing billiards, bowling and chess.

I'm with you.

It would have been fun to see Lisa Leslie try to battle Karl Malone for a rebound. She'd learn just what Karl's elbow is all about.

Let a woman get in the box and face a Randy Johnson slider or Nolan Ryan fastball.

Annika Sornestam found out why women have their own tour.

If you truly believe the feminist version of equality, this is the logical outcome. Otherwise, it is "separate but equal", just like the deep South was pre-1960s.

Oh, I don't know. I'm not sure men would dominate synchronized swimming or the balance beam....

But then I would like to see women try the rings. Total equality is stupid.

Of course Title 9 is a tool of the devil.

Men are better at women in all sports including sports that are dominated by women. For example Gymnastics men are better gymnasts, men are better dancers (ask SU) men are better at every sport. Thats just the way it is.

I have told this story before but I played at 24 hour fitness with 3 WNBA players. I had myself and 2 other guys that are average at best. We dominated them, they made a few shots but other than that they were highschool JV level if that.

Even before puberty, boys kill girls in all sports. Girls might be able to hang through 1st grade but that's about it. Even in track. The fastest boys are faster than the fastest girls.

My daughter can beat every boy in her school in basketball (she is in 6th grade). She and her friends routinely look for pickup games during recess just so that they can thump on some boys for fun. One day she and one friend took on seven fifth-grade boys and still beat the crap out of them. I tell her to get her licks in now, because it most certainly won't last forever.

At comparable levels boys or men will defeat girls or women. So what.

However, a great girl can defeat many a boy.

In our high school, we had a national, Olympic caliber girl runner who ran about a 2:02 in the 800. Our good guy runners could do that, but it wasn't easy.

I notice a big difference in the sprints, where muscle mass plays a distinct role.
