Thank you for that astute observation. Look up anything track and field where there’s an objective measure and come tell us how professional athlete women are just as fast / strong as world class men. Are there still people that legitimately believe top level to top level performance is similar best women to best men?…

So with a couple caveats out of the way - we don’t really know what Semenya is as the test results were leaked and not made public so there is no official account of it -

No. My argument is this matters and that doesn’t because almost everyone with the exception of a fringe says so. But sure, let’s do it your way and have coed leagues and see how that goes. I mean open to interpretation coed, none of that “require a minimum of X female players on each team” coed.  Which, by the way,…

To all those saying sports don’t have a level playing field - sure we can split hairs and say that all athletes are genetically more gifted - true enough.  The old adage is 20% talent 80% hard work, but yes you need talent.  But there ARE lines, and gender is one of them for the simple reason that gender impacts body…

Categorically not racist. And not even sexist. I can see both sides of that - she had abnormally high testosterone because of a birth condition which is not normally occurring. No fault of hers, of course, but also not a level playing field - and sports assumes that there is one. That’s why there are different weight…

Jeeperz. Does it ever occur to anyone that any “attacks” are on merit and not because of gender?

You can’t say taxes reduce “what’s yours” (vesting does).  It’s the same as saying the salary you make is not all yours.  It is, it is just taxable.

Aside from one decent point (there are areas where renting is cheaper - so sure, it may make sense to rent there, although the one big item that has gone unaddressed there is that with the mortgage eventually gets paid off whereas rent never does, so the cost of housing goes down for owners vs. renters after that).…

This is wrong. It is true that a home shouldn’t be purchased solely as an investment, but with proper leverage, here is a concrete example.

Of course it does! A medical professional is infinitely more credible than someone who isn’t. And the point that being a model doesn’t mean someone isn’t smart, while true, certainly doesn’t apply to Jenny McCarthy (who is demonstrably not smart) and it is likely true that it is statistically less likely as well that…
