Sorry -- don't know why I took it that way. I'm tired and cranky today, and it's only 8:40.

But I actually think women should shut up and get back in the kitchen.

Yes, but only after she finishes sucking my dick.

The girls were the Illinois state champs that year.

One spring break I went to visit a friend of mine at ASU. I played DIII ball at a small school and didn't get much light (even though I'm 6' 11"). There was an SI cover story article on ASU's star female point guard and how amazing she was that year. I played at the rec center in a few pick up games while I was there. One time she ran with us. I guarded her and pretty much schooled her. She could play with us, but she couldn't guard anyone and if she got by me, I'd just wait until she started her two steps to the basket, jump and block her shot. She was very quick and could handle the ball well, but it's just not the same.

Own it!

But I think a woman could maybe get a little sniff in while pleasuring the team orally.

Now you're just being crass. You always take things too far.

East Germany wasn't trying to pass women off as men, and Manny Ramirez wasn't trying to become a female. Of course, I also think allowing women into the PGA is bad for golf because it's bad for women's golf. Reducing the women's game to only those few who can compete with men (for distance, say) is net bad for women and for girls.

Yeesh. This reads like "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, and segregation forever," so let me say women should be allowed to compete in men's events if they wish, but acknowledge that it will unintentionally diminish the women's events to the JV of the human race, and athletics should not be so, any more than every bantamweight fighter should aspire to be a superweavyweight. Divisions exist to maximize the potential to excel.

I don't know what you're trying to say here -- you appear to be conflating a number of ideas. Some sports lend themselves a little to women and men competing together (e.g., golf (but I can't think of another -- maybe archery? curling?)), and most don't (e.g., boxing, basketball, hockey, baseball, 90% of all sports). That's a different point from determining whether someone who looks like a hermaphrodite is actually a woman or a man. The conversation is not about whether people who are clearly women should be competing alongside people who are clearly men, it's about one ambiguous-looking person.

Why has their never been a woman as world chess champion?

Are we sure it's entirely the sport that's at issue.

Why has there never been a man as world home economics champion?

Because their sexist fathers don't push them to compete in the same way?

the guy who wrote The man Who Fell to Earth, the hustler and the color of money wrote a novel about a woman who became wrold champion Queen's Gambit. It was pretty good.

p.s. My ex-aunt had a small part in Searching for bobby Fischer

Women have held the International Grammar Rodeo Championship title 100 years in a row. I wonder why that is?

Look, I know there was a dispute about who properly held the title that year, but in my mind Wonk will always be the champ.

I don't know, maybe this has to do with some of the sports issues.

My daughter used to skate down the ice leaving the boys spinning against the boards when she played hockey. But she hit a certain age where this was discouraged and so hockey was just not as much fun. She's fast and agile and fearless, and that can make up for some of the bulk. She had a good role model and teacher in my sister (who was the only girl on and captain of her college hockey team, and who certainly wiped my ass all over the rink). But about age 9 it got to be a lot less fun because of all the reaction she got from being the only girl out there. She's now retired, but when she retired she was the undisputed champ on her team.

What would have happened if she lived in a lesbian commune in Saskatoon?
