Sounds to me like you got triggered by trolling of the christian variety and had to run to ats to begin the virtue signaling circle jerk. Is there anything you people aren't offended by?

The asshurt industrial complex is alive and well on ATS.

Yes, we are generally not offended by a sense of fairness in the this race called life, we strive for equality in opportunity but not results, that's up to the person crossing the finish line, I have the same response to most fundies be they Christian, Muslims,Jew, Hindu, Vudun, Buddhist.
But most of all we are not offended by you or your freedom of speech..

So you aren't offended by your own false sense of reality? Why strive for something that is unnatural and will not exist?

Are you an equality-fundie? Not sure what they call that..

Yes in as much as equal opportunity at the starting line the finishing line is a whole other story..everyone should have the same rights to fail.

a reply to: Spider879

Let's assume this equal starting line were created and you were part of the first generation to all truly start off life with equal opportunities to succeed.

Now you are old enough to have offspring. Some of you have failed in life, others flourish. You did well so your children undoubtedly start off on different, better playing fields because you earned it for them, correct? Or do you have what you earned taken away to pacify the complaints of those who weren't quite as successful?

a reply to: Bundy

The playing field should be the same high standard/ quality regardless , a public institution should be the rival of a private one in quality, the problem is will to make it happen and what we as a nation is willing to invest in.
And my kids?? if they fd-up they will have to work from the bottom up.

Interestingly enough, the US Women's Nation Team plays scrimmages against boys teams (from the Olympic Development Program) when they are getting ready for the Women's World Cup. The Boy's teams are usually less skillful, but are physically superior. Which results in the Boy's teams winning most of these matches. Testosterone is a hell of a hormone.

There is a physical aspect to it. You are allowed to muscle someone off the ball with your shoulder or body or keep them from getting to it and other things.
In no way am I saying that to defend his actions tho, just that technically isn't wrong but hardly a reason to call a game.
He might as well call every game that his team has the stronger players if he wants to go that route.
But yes skill and strategy can overcome that.

Good point. There're MANY games where your team is bigger and more skilled, maybe ~80% likely to win but you still play anyway.

If you're quantitatively better then you get placed according to your results. This is done so that games are reasonably fair and not blowouts. Like the c-team, junior varsity or varsity. That's different. It's based on RESULTS, not gender. You can't judge based only on gender.

(also there're divisions based on school size... bigger schools--with wider selection of talent--compete against other bigger schools)

But refusing to play it's disrespecting the other team. Let the results speak for themselves, but don't deny the other team its chance.

It's a no win situation.

Boys lose, the feminists will gloat and heckle.

Boys win, then the feminists will shame them for winning and bullying.

This. Boys never win against girls, regardless of the score.

The only winning move is not to play.

a reply to: EvillerBob

Sure they do. This happens all the time all over our nation and we don't hear the out rage when the boys win you all are talking about.
