That's right. Just like professional combat. It's about weight class and type of fighting. Or in UFC just weight class.
You could pit Rousey against a guy of her same weight class and the win could go either way. Pit her against an untrained guy above her weight class and she'd take them too.

Teams would be comprised of the best athletes.
Gender, gender identity, would be taken out of the equation.
And just like with the ratio of whites and blacks in pro sports, you would expect to see really no girls on the teams anymore.

Still separate but equal.
People used that argument (separate but equal) when some suggested separate bathrooms.
Then, they were for equality.
But no one, other than myself, has been saying that gender identity sports separation has got to go away.

Ok fine. Then that's why women can't do anything a man can do. That's why they don't get paid the same. That's why they are whores for sleeping around instead of players.
Sorry ladies, no equality for you.
But at least you still get to go first with the children when the ship is sinking.

I feel the same way about combat units training to fight in wars but others here have called me a misogynist and a bigot for saying what I think and feel being a former infantryman and trainer/ warfighter in other capacities within the USMC and other organizations.

Looks like an awesome book.
It is a bit old for this subject though.

That's totally sexist though. So you're saying some big broad can beat the hell out of some wimpy guy and that's ok because she's a woman???
But if that same woman is terrorizing that wimpy dude and taking his lunch money or kicking him off the bus seat or pulling down his pants in public that even then he's not allowed to smack her one if he get's the chance???
