Of course they did. That is all they know. If we use that argument and change the topic there are a lot of things those females would not be able to because that is the way they were raised.

I did not ask you to give me every single angle to this argument. But the fact that you cannot or you are unwilling to talk about the issue speaks volumes. Like Snaq said, I grew up in a small HS and we had one main gym and we made it work. Sorry that this discussion is way too over your head. I asked the question because I was waiting for something compelling to say this is the reason Michigan should stay this way. I am also a native Michigander so this issue has always fascinated me.
