+1 to you jeffington.

Notice the insulting language that always seems to come up when one dares to ask for 100% equality in the male/female debates instead of simply rebutting the arguments. It proves that they don't want equality of opportunity, they also want equality of outcomes too.

Some girls compete in male dominated sports now on a HS level--my boys wrestle and they have girls on the team. One girl won state several years back. Wrestling works well because by nature of the sport, participants are equally matched in size and weight. I don't know if I'd personally want my daughter to wrestle (I have all boys) but if the girls want to do it, I say go for it.

It is certainly possible for a woman to take a man in hand to hand combat, and I've never said differently--but they have to be TRAINED for it. Most women are not trained to hurt other people.
