Re: Is it time to revisit the issue of testosterone for men and women in athletics? [tridork]

Getting back to women, why do we accept that with alleged equal rights for men and women, that women get a separate set of events. Surely women that are similarly in favour of equal treatment for woman, would be queueing up behind me saying that women's events should be abolished. For some reason, I can't see the line forming.


No, "equal rights" for women in athletics doesn't mean abolishing women-only competition and requiring women to compete with men. It could, arguably, mean providing women the option of competing with men should they choose to, e.g. Michelle Wie. Otherwise the "right" is giving women the same opportunity to compete against each other that men do. A right that was largely denied to many women until the last 100 years or so.

And, no, you haven't cleverly discovered some hypocrisy in feminism. There. We're done with that. Back to the "inter-sex" discussion.
