For the reasons you just stated, during their dominant late ‘90's & early 00's national championship runs, the UNC women’s soccer team regularly scrimmaged the area high school boys teams. This gave them a tremendous advantage when they played against other wonen’s teams.

Losing is a part of life. There’s no denying that. But denying biological make up in this case is silly. Specifically, the issue of how much testosterone is naturally in the competitors’ body. As the article notes, when it comes to athletics - more testosterone is an advantage. That’s why I think the testosterone…

If this is truly how you feel, then what’s the point of having males and females compete separately?

Edgy take, brah

Yes. Yes it is.

you are just simple... brainwashed enough yet are we?

I guess. It’s great that he’s supportive, of course, but he comes off pretty selfish to me, like “as long as me and mine get whatever we want, everyone else can get fucked.”

How is Title IX a binary understanding of gender?

I agree with you, I don’t think its dumb opinion at all. I have no issues with transgender people, but when sports are divided into men’s and women’s competitions, there has to be some barrier so a man can’t decide one day that they consider themselves a woman and immediately start competing in the women’s division. I…

I think I said this in the article last year, but hopefully it’s worth repeating. What we call “men’s” and “women’s” divisions are essentially testosterone-level divisions. The majority of men fall above some line (probably the line you suggest), the majority of women below that line, and if we want both populations…

This is tricky. I support trans rights, but I also support the right of cis girls to compete in sports against a level playing field. I don’t know the perfect answer, but I don’t think that allowing a 15-year-old girl to compete with what is still, essentially, a boy’s body, is it.

You’re supposed to hit home runs when guys are on base! Duh! Solo home runs are for showboats! More bunts and sacrifices to move guys along, please.

Dumb baseball fans argue that solo home runs when down are “Rally killers,” because they are very aggressive in their ignorance of math.

Looks like its time for them Ryan boys to skedaddle:

This is classic grooming tactics used by predators, and he appears to have been very good at it. It made me ill just reading this. It’s the same story over and over and over again from each of these women. The whole fixation on an orgasm (the implication that she invited the rape) is the sickest thing about this.

People like Cosby are out there. And there’s sadly a lot of them. They all have their little quirks that mentally justify their actions. For Cosby - if the woman couldn’t consciously resist his whims, he believed that he could do what he wanted. Its about power and control whenever a person chooses to rape another.…

Yep, you’re exactly right. His defense is that it was all consensual.

Still reading but already tearing up at her courage and I wish I could give her a big high five or a hug or a fist bump or a nod to say we’re with you girl.
