Nice try, asshole.'Devestating effects...on the gene pool' sounds eugenicky...use birth control/abortion?? (also eugenicky)
If someone is determined to commit a sexual assault a sign on the bathroom door isn't going to stop them.
If I was to play Serena in a game of tennis I very much doubt I would win even though I'm a man.
This is just what they do in boxing, isn't it? But they still don't pit men and women against each other, even when they're in the same weight category.height and weight categories make more sense to me: I'm 5ft6 and pre-pandemic was 64kg, I would be annihilated in any sport against my 6ft muscular amazonian female friends

I have to say, I disagree with nearly everything Benny has to say on this issue, but in this instance he's right. Men are not only bigger than women on average, they also have a bigger proportion of muscle mass compared to bodyweight, and that's true whether you're talking about Mr and Ms Elite Athlete or Mr and Ms Couch Potato. Pointing out that Ms Elite Athlete would beat Mr Couch Potato is meaningless, because you're not comparing like with like.

I'm right about everything else as well. Good to see you saying 'men' and 'women' too in that post. You'll probably get told off now though, naughty, naughty 😖
This really isn't the killer gotcha you think it is. Recognising that men are generally stronger than women isn't a "position" you can agree or disagree with. It's an objective fact, so it can't be "misogynist." What would be misogynistic would be to use it as the basis for an argument that women shouldn't have the vote, or shouldn't have careers, or should submit to any man who wants to fuck them, or whatever.but the issue is not biological difference. the issue is this completely bizarre and nonsensical idea (from people who don't follow sports) that sports, even amongst single sex games is supposedly 'fair.'
So you find yourself in a quandary here. Either you advocate that men are superior to women in sports, in which case charge of misogyny is fair, or you actually understand that this is one grey area which can't be resolved with an arbitrary criterion of purported fairness.
And in fact, if you're going to argue the former, why even be a feminist to begin with? Because you might as well white knight.

'asshat' pleaseNice try, asshole.
i don't know if that's good though? I find the anti-trans views wilfully blind and abhorrent. I don't think it's some kind of triumph we're sharing a space, more like lax moderation.Rare to find an online coterie of such ideological breadth.
