You've gone out of your way to confuse tolerance for acceptance. Pretty hilarious.

I've never heard any female complain about equality to men in any arena.


Duel standards is not considered to be a point of inequality, but rather an acknowledgement of generally innate physiological differences. Nice attempt at a strawman though.

In which case, the fact that you haven't heard of complaints with regards to ignoring a dual standard only speaks towards your own ignorance on the matter.

Runners Furious Over Caster Semenya's Return

  • Though she's only been training seriously for a month, Caster Semenya sailed to victory in the 800m yesterday in Berlin, prompting resentment among her female competitors. "Even if she is a female, she's on the very fringe of the normal athlete female biological composition from what I understand of hormone testing," said Canadian Diane Cummins, who finished eighth. "So, from that perspective, most of us just feel that we are literally running against a man."


Allow me to reiterate my point with another example: If duel standards in the army were eliminated, females would be royally pissed as a great deal of them would either fail to achieve the scores that are expected of males or simply feel incensed that their standards for passing would be significantly lower.

That has nothing to do with the point of the article. It's a non-contact sport. Weight has no bearing.


What do you think it takes to propel a base-ball? Hopes and dreams? It's not just about using the power from your hips. Muscle is a factor. The difference in weight classes would create an unbalanced ratio of distances thrown/batted. This isn't even mentioning sprints.

You previously made the claim that it's the Catholic organization that's stuck in the past. By and large however, co-ed sports are not a standard.

So for the record: you honestly believe that female scores on Physical Fitness tests would average out with males'--or even exceed male averages. Interesting.

Pathetic. But interesting.

And that seems to be based on some fantasy you've convinced yourself of.


I probably know more female athletes than you ever will. They would be pissed.
