What is?

Men are superior. That's your argument.
No one is any more an expert than you. That was another of your arguments.

You are (or at least say you are) a man.

You should do just fine against the women I mentioned.

You don't have to be so hateful. If it's a hiptoss and armbar competition then I'm sure she would wipe the floor with me. Now take that out of the equation and let's focus on who can punch harder. She'd be looking up at me from her back no doubt in my mind.

Men are generally physically superior. Why this hurts you so is beyond me.

Until you provide anything more than your feelings to support an argument, I'll stick with the facts, thanks.

Did you just say your opinions are facts??

So it IS an opinion piece.
OK. Then probably not the best support for your argument. Especially when some of the opinions expressed therein contradict the opinions you are expressing and trying to prove.

You skimmed for opinions that you thought supported your own.
We should do as you say but not as you do.
Got it.

You're trying so hard buddy...keep at it...you might be "right" someday

I'd love to see you go punch for punch with her.

I am not talking generalities and I don't dispute the averages.

Nope. Facts are facts. Opinions can reflect facts. Or they may not.
Simply having an opinion or feeling does not mean it is a fact.

You have proved this several times.

Disagree if you wish, but he pulled the same shit you do: Supporting feelings with feelings, and complaining that others do what you do yourself.
Hypocrisy exemplified, with a dash of irony.

Funny how you used one of her opinions (at the end of the paper) to support your case...but try to call me out for using the facts she laid out in the paper to reach her ideas for a solution...

I guess she didn't speak on the genitalia aspect you like...that's why you don't take it seriously...

Since you're harping the Duke paper being trash...what's wrong with the Princeton study?

Not using it to support my case. I'm saying that he presented it to counter my suggestion, but it actually supports them.
That's not a very strong way to argue.

Is the Princeton study the one that says muscles with a bigger cross-section are stronger?
If so, I wouldn't disagree with that as a general (but not an absolute) rule.

I'm not arguing anything...I'm pointing out why men shouldn't compete in women's athletics...

Feelings and opinions get argued. Facts get pointed out.

Sorry Rob, while I agree with you on quite a few topics, this isn't one of them. Most sports leagues aren't men only, they are just the top athletes. NHL, MLB, NBA, NFL, etc. Any team in any of these leagues would allow women to play if they were good enough to be an asset. I believe the Montreal Canadiens has a female goalie that played a couple exhibition games, but never a meaningful game.

I'm all for a person born in the wrong body being able to make a change but if athletics is their main pursuit in life, that change may have to wait a few years until they're finished with pro sports. Or they make they change and don't get to compete at a professional level.

I forgot about the female goalie. IIRC, there was a female kicker tried to make division 1 ncaa football. In essence, we already have many non-gender leagues available that ***** community can compete in.

She's 5'6" 135lbs. I am 5'10" 190lbs. I have taken punches from men larger than myself and laughed them off. Not to mention she is a known poor striker.

Aweee thanks. I abbreviated your quote to reflect reality.

100% fact. She is good and I would not mess with her because she is so good at Judo. Well, that and I am a nice guy.
