I discussed soft and forcible exclusion in my comment as well as mentioned "other factors". Funding and coach salaries is obviously more of a factor at college and professional level (for example college coaches for male teams get paid about $1 million more per year than those for female teams) [http://www.womenssports…

Well with forcible as well as soft exclusion (which begins from a young age) & other factors such as funding and coach salaries we can't possible ever know.

I was referring to your sentiment that the op's partner is probably right.....

We don't have wrestling in the UK but womens boxing was completely illegal in the UK up until 1992. There is alot of inequality in sports between men and women in the UK which I'm only really realising now although we dont have "college sports" here so there is a little less at stake.

How could you know if you keep forcibly excluding them? Women are improving in sport at a faster and faster rate - much faster than men due to better funding, better legislation and an increased sports culture around women. 100 years ago people had no clue that women could swim, run and play as well as they do now,…

Eugh, a weird mixture of gross and pathetic

its great that your smarter than the real world but clearly the commenter i was responding to isnt and many guys arent. The beauty standard for women is so high that unless you wear makeup people think you look sick, unless u dye your hair people think you look washed out and unless you get breast implants people…

ding ding ding, your comment is kind of the point. You think all these things about "women being motivated by other things" based on all the media you've consumed but its not even close to reality.

I have to plus one you on that, I think Leighton is a beauty. I always feel like people think a girl is stunning just for being skinny and blonde - or maybe I'm just bitter because I know i'll never be either of those things

I wasn't directing my blame just at the parents. I blame mr Brown also. Further my comment was directed as custody battles in general. This has been going on for four years, Im sure they all could have figured something out together in this time period. Maybe the couple could set up a sofa bed for Mr Brown to visit on…

I dont think not being able to move makes someone a bad parent I think both parties inability to co-orporate and do this together for the sake of Veronica makes them bad parents

Thats exactly what I was thinking. It can be hard breaking into the mainstream as a black anything, latching onto Miley will no doubt bring them more fame and wealth. Nobody in the UK had heard of Big Sean (or mike will made it) but after he featured Miley in his music video he was featured on the front page of the…

I have no clue why you were moved to the greys but I totally agree with your comments. Adoption isn't that thing you see in disney movies where orphaned kids moving to loving families then its all happy endings. Surely that recent reuters investigation has shown us there is alot more going on in this world that we…

I understand u but i just disagree. As a parent your supposed to do anything for your child anything. I question the parenting of anyone who wouldn't move across the country if it meant being with their child. I also question the parenting of anyone who would try to cut out other loving "parents" from their childs…

I suppose the judge can't force them to live near each other but i'm sure there could have been some sort of co parenting agreement to be made. It just makes me sad because people often say they will do anything for their kids but when it gets down to it they are more interested in ownership and being right

Thats what I was thinking. I don't think any of these parents should have Veronica as they clearly don't have her best interest at heart, if they did they would know that she needs both sets of parents in her life

Nononononono! I don't understand why in these custody battles the judge can't force the two parties to live near each other and co-parent. If these people truly love her and want her to be happy then I don't see why they can't do it together. Surely everyone can see that she needs all these "parents" in her life

its genetic some peoples taste receptors taste greens as bitter whilst others do not

Yes I want to see the data too! Never give discrimination the benefit of the doubt until its absolutely proven itself.

The "Pc gone mad" response annoys me to no end.
