We "can" do whatever we want. It would be pretty fucked up, and I think we could make a case for illegal, to open up men's teams for women in the name of equality, but not open up women's teams or sports to men.
Like said, these exceptional one off cases are one thing, but what TriYoda was talking about seemed to be making women on men's teams the norm.
For at least 50 years , I have seen men's and women's sports AND a handful of exceptions made for women who can compete on the men's team. For that entire time people have made your exact argument. Reality simply rolls along, and doesn't care. Perhaps at some point you should re-evaluate the premise of your argument?
There remain compelling reasons why women's and men's sports are separated, and reasons to have exceptions. I don't care what TriYoda posted, the same idea has posted for decades, and sounds great, except for all of the ways that it fails. (no, the singular instance of one women being a placekicker on a college team does not indicate "gender equity", it's a near-perfect example of "an exception")
