U.S. Women suffer 5-0 defeat in their TST opener against Say Word FC

[Perpetual Student]

I use the term "biological men/women" to specify that I am talking about actual men and women who are not deluded into believing they are the opposite sex. Some would argue that trans women are women too. I disagree. So to make sure we are staying on topic, let's discuss the trans stuff in another thread.

Wait, you wrote a few posts ago:

The thread isn't about transgenders.

And now you are talking about transgender issues.
So what is this thread about?

Look, the Wangdoodles, Hornswoggles, Snozzwangers, and Vermicious Knids really took a toll on the inhabitants of Loompaland. They are no longer sending their best.

Perhaps you should try reading the OP. That is usually a good start when contributing to a thread.

What is this thread about then?

It’s about how the little ladies need men to protect them from their own choices.

No. It’s about fairness.

The thread isn't about transgenders.

I thought it was about transgendered people playing in sports that don't match their biologically presumed birth sex.


As a side bar, what about this question:
Who would win:
a Biological male untrained in the sport OR A biological female trained in the sport.

So your argument is that people born with a penis should never play competetively against people born with a vagina.

That is what it comes down to right?

 

[Oompa Loompa]

No. It’s about fairness.

And how it is morally wrong to humiliate women for entertainment.

It is my argument that women should not be humiliated for entertainment.

It's better to parade them around in swimsuits like meat at a Trump beauty contest.

Yes.

I have never in my life heard the opposite. Are there people advocating for the opposite?
And what about men? Should men be humiliated for entertainment?

 

[rambot]

Yes.

Ew.

That's gross

Why do you think I pick what you consider a "meaningless tournament?" The answer is that the only situation I can find in which a professional woman's team plays against men are in "meaningless tournaments."

And you dug up an old report on a tournament to actually make just that point? I wonder where you get this stuff from? You certainly didn't just happen on it browsing the news as it's a year old. Do you mind telling us what site alerted you to this? I'd love to see the context.

Biological women competing against biological men in athletics.

Then why link to a soccer tournament?

The girl. Almost every time.

Yes. In this thread.

That would depend on what sort of sport, just how untrained and far the sport is separated from everyday life. Oh and how 'cold' you expect the untrained male to come in.

Take any college with a track and a football team and put the woman up against a lineman and my bet is on the football player.

Same for most of the running events. (And with the way football is king it is not that hard to find a d back with blazing speed who never ran track).

Make it gymnastics or diving and the female will win.

For team sports make it curling and the experienced team wins.

Make it Rugby and give me the football team from Oaks Christian or Long Beach Poly and 3 practices and they will beat the best women's team in the world. (And it will be the most boring game ever as power is the guys advantage so the way to win is to go pure power. Think 3 yards and a cloud of dust).

If you meant a woman trained in the sport vs. a man not currently training. In all but the most contact/impact sports I'd bet on the woman.

A good club (e.g. high level social) female bike rider would embarrass the typical sports writer who thinks sports require a ball or puck to be worthy.

EDIT: For swimming a relatively untrained guy has a good chance against a trained woman in the 50 freestyle. In the 200 butterfly or 400 I. M. it is more a question of if the guy can finish without being disqualified. If it is long course meters (50 meter long pool) the question becomes drowning.

I agree. But still the better alternative to humiliating women for entertainment.

 

[Bradskii]

Yes. In this thread.

Who said that people should be humiliated in sport?
