Given the genetic differences, do you really think that the very best women could compete head-to-head against even the 2nd tier of men in physical sports where speed, height, and/or strength are critical elements.
I'm all for promoting womens sports and opportunities for women. In fact, I ran a church league for several years where I made great efforts in to ensure that the women had the same opportunities to play as the men....putting more effort into that than running the men's events. I had a lot of feedback from several of the women who were appreciative of my efforts...because no one else in my position before me had even tried to establish sports for the women.

Camron, I don't think you were being anti-women's lib or anything so politically incorrect. You are nothing if not PC. I just think that to say this would develop into a mess is over-reacting. Mess doesn't need the help of some judge in Winnipeg. It can happen all by itself.
