It was G.O.L.F. Gentleman only Ladies forbidden.
Why do they separate men’s sports from women’s sports?
"Women’s opportunities for competitive physical activity were limited in America until Federal Legislation, commonly referred to as Title IX, became law. It required American society to recognize a woman’s right to participate in sports on a plane equal to that of men. Prior to 1870, activities for women were recreational rather than sport-specific in nature. They were noncompetitive, informal, rule-less; they emphasized physical activity rather than competition. In the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, women began to form clubs that were athletic in nature. Efforts to limit women’s sport activity continued as they became more involved in competitive sports. This paper will present a history of women’s involvement in sport prior to the federal legislation enacted to eliminate sexual discrimination in education and sport."

So why do you believe mens sports are separated from women’s sports?


Is it because that is a more fair playing field for women?

Because men have historically been elitist pricks that want to keep women out of sports in general to protect their own fragile egos and even tried to frame sports as being harmful to women's "fertility" to keep women from competing.
Do you think it has anything to do with speed, size and strength?

Absolutely F***ing NOT. It's all due to men's ego and insecurities.

Because men didn't want us in their group. It's never been about fairness.

What do we do about the fact that FTM kids cannot hope to compete with biological males in sports? Just shut them out of scholarships and big prizes?

So if we were to compare the fastest man alive’s 100m time, and the fastest woman alive’s fastest 100m time,
Do you believe the man was faster because he trained harder than the woman?

Because men didn't want us in their group. It's never been about fairness.
So when the top scientists in the field tell us that men have
“ larger heart, greater lung capacity, greater muscle mass, more red blood cells, and less body fat”


Do you believe those scientists are wrong?

That's true of different sizes of men in comparison to each other also.

That's why men invented "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handicapp ... calculated."

Even if we ignore the fact that handicaps are not utilized in high school, college or professional sports…

Do you think natural born women deserve a higher handicap?

I don't think the challenges of grouping athletes by size and ability are insurmountable, forever.
