Sport is a context of physical ability and skill, that is inherantly masquline.
Except all the Olympic level (elite) sport that isn’t, like gymnastics, equestrian, ice dance etc.
9 July, 2017 at 10:54 am #1059559Well Nemesis you make a point. KingS – The Williams sisters, vanity fair pic? One an alleged OAP killer, the other likes to copy Demi Moore on some chav pic. One is doing adverts for beds, etc. They would do anything for money!!! I get them mixed up just one is slightly less masculine than the other and whacks the ball about 2mph slower. In the scheme of things, that child will be proud of her mum for making Kim Kardibum look to have dignity. Women 1 Men 1.1
This just about sums it up doesn’t it. The prevailing sexism in today’s modern society. When women are successful in sport they are then described as “masculine” and when they exploit advertisement opportunities, like men have for decades, they are negatively compared to talentless TV reality personalities who have never achieved anything other than being famous, just for being famous.
You can’t make a post without using the same old rhetoric of sexism / racism nonsense.. it’s like a broken record continually playing the same song where you pad your posts out of regurgitated phrases you have found in your extremely limited dictionary without addressing any points raised…. just hot air as always.

You’ve already been told in gymnastics that men can do routines women can’t yet still keep using it as an example. Equestrian involves sitting on a horse ffs and ice dance ! Jesus wept … how many men take up “ice dancing” as a vocation? It’s like using the snooker analogy, you are comparing apples and oranges where there are not equal numbers competing yet you appear too thick to see it.
9 July, 2017 at 10:59 am #1059563Infact even in equestrian men outperform women.. here is the world ranking where the highest woman is nowhere to be seen in the top ten.

I will give my opinion, when I like, whether you like it or not, whatever ID you are in today. For obvious reasons, your participation in particular, the debate can’t evolve and question the prevailing sexism in sport which leads to an unequal playing field, when it comes to both genders. Which then leads to unequal funding and prize money.

Gymnastics definitely requires an abnormal level of physical ability and skill, as does ice dancing.
I wouldn’t really call them sports though, as the winner is determine by a process that is too subjective for my liking (maybe competative art would be a better term, I don’t know).
Equestrian events are a strange case, as the horse is effectively the one being scored on performance, not the human

They should do a sponsor to how many times you keep repeating sexism over and over.. why do you keep banging the sexist drum without actually answering anything on the thread. Regulars in forum 3 have accused you of being a cross dresser, so is the bitterness at sexism actually from simply trolling a forum not using or understanding what sexism actually means when discussing biological facts in sport or are you speaking from your alter ego shirley I believe it is? The constant pandering and crawling is sickly to see.. you are being presented with facts and have no answers to them to revert back to your default status of sexism again as your arguments fall down around your ears. Ice dancing … dear oh dear. You have been asked to provide an eg of a sport where men and women compete in equal numbers not involving a machine or animal and you come up with equestrian and ice dancing. 😅

I agree but Ge is incapable of understanding a single point on the thread and just starts with his sexism mantra of gibberish again.. there’s no substance to anything he writes , it looks like it has been written by the student union.

What leads to an unequal playing field you blithering idiot are the fundamental differences between men and women on a biological level. Name a sport where they are equal in performance.. you can’t and just dance round the houses like the hysterical drama queen you are. If someone told you female boxers would lose to men in the most blatant eg of this you would start screaming sexism again like the whining screeching kettle of diarrhea you seem to be. You keep saying there are sports that dont involve this , so far you have come up with sitting on a horse which does all the work and ice dancing where hardly any men compete at all.
9 July, 2017 at 11:17 am #1059576Accusations of sexism have cropped up repeatedly in this year’s Olympic games, almost as garish and ubiquitous a feature as the medals themselves.
We’ve seen participants ridiculed for having the audacity to have the muscles required to be world class athletes, criticised for wearing too much clothing in a hijab or not enough in a bikini, as well as spark controversy for mentioning how menstruation affects their performance.
Most recently, an athlete’s boyfriend’s decision to propose to her when she was fresh off the winners’ podium sparked think pieces around the world as spectators flocked to ponder whether this was a romantic gesture or a sexist sign of male dominance.
