There's no reason not to let them try. If, after years of seeing a 100% failure rate for female athletes competing against male athletes in certain events, those events could go back to being separate. But it is a weak rationale to keep everything segregated that we assume that's what would happen. I would like to

If you notice, I didn't make my comments in a vacuum. I am responding to a dinosaur who can use the internet and yet believes that literally all women are inferior to literally all men at literally any athletic event. That's so ridiculous that I don't think my response is remotely excessive.
And since I reject that

Perfectly? Hardly. Separate but equal was deemed a fallacy once, and hopefully it will be again.

They do not get the chance to compete equally at elite levels, you flaming idiot. There is no basis for comparison. You can cuddle your imagined scenario with total male superiority all you want, but you must know reality wouldn't bear it out or you wouldn't be so keen to keep women out of sports.

There was another post about a girl being kept out of wrestling competitions awhile back, and if memory serves the "she shouldn't be allowed because boners" comment was the most active thread. At least, it was the one I read and responded to the most. And what happened there was basically a fight over whether or not

The two aren't mutually exclusive. I don't want to be the Best Girl Whatever. Or the Female FamousMaleAthlete. I want to be THE best. And any man who isn't pitifully insecure would also welcome a bigger and more varied pool of competitors.

I can't figure out if she's being deliberately disingenuous, or if that's commentary on the woeful state of sex education in America (particularly with regards to the topic of consent) or if she's just so detached from the reality of adolescent life that she imagines boys really are just slaves to their boners. It's

They'll survive it, just like you did.

Also, it's a stupid benchmark. World records in sports will be dominated by men because the vast majority of sports history was 100% male, and even once women were allowed to compete there's been a segregated approach for pretty much all teams that aren't school teams.
I get that Zedzod is just a boring troll, but

Yes, that would be fair. And awesome. Thanks for asking!

Swing and a miss buddy. I've done gymnastics and track, been on (girls') volleyball, basketball and softball teams. The segregated element of the latter three sports added nothing to my enjoyment of them.

HAHAHAHAHAHA. Yes, very democratic. Like when a Congress dominated by men votes to close women's health clinics and ban women's health procedures. Not even one thing perverse about that.

What's your impetus? Is there a single quote from an actual boy wrestler or the coach expressing unwillingness? No. They are having a knee-jerk reaction, just like you are.

Sports are delineated for a reason, and that reason is an old-school and factually untrue assumption about male and female bodies. It's a shit reason, and the fact that people like you think it's somehow sacred is backwards and sad.
This isn't some thought experiment where an Angry Feminist Mob is demanding that there

Oh good, someone noticed by invisible sarcastic quotation marks!

Blaming white supremacy on any group except the dominant group is to miss the point spectacularly. If you want to talk about unlearning internalized hate, that's a valid but separate topic. This about a very common experience of how much certain WHITE DUDES suck.

It is not for Donna Choi to create art about the suffering (snrk) of white men targeted by a series of Asian women who approach them AND INTERACT WITH THEM as if they are a Type rather than an individual. That unicorn is going to make his own comic.

That's a pretty patronizing view—like women don't know when a man is trying to squeeze them into a personal fantasy rather than get to know them as a person. Again, the comments from actual Asian American women all over this post make it clear that they know how shitty this is, and that it is a shared experience

Is an internet hug a patronizing offer? Or an internet drink? You definitely deserve SOMETHING for your contributions to this completely batshit comment section.

Well, it says this appeared on Donna Choi's website, and she gave permission to republish it. So without the artists' own comments on her work, all we can do is speculate. That said, the simplest explanation based on the content of the art, and the comments of the artist's peer group, is that this art serves to
