You mischievous scamp.
To heck with tennis.
Abolish the gender segregation of best actor/best actress and best supporting actor/best supporting actress.
Considering that the question is even being asked I’d agree with you. It’s time for fully integration. Which also means men can identify as females for the purposes of college scholarships. Any male can try out for any female sport, objecting would be discrimination /s
It’s about time that some truths be brought to the forefront, as so many, it seems, are too stupid to understand reality.
We could ask the same about all women’s sports. Why do we have separate women’s basketball teams, women’s track and field, women’s ice skating, women’s softball, women’s anything.
And if the best women players get skimmed off to compete with men, will women’s sports continue at all, or go out of existence eventually?
Check other posts in the thread. I may have garbled the memory on the doubles court. Still, he spotted her 25 years.
Here for Serena’s experience playing a man:
“During the 1998 Australian Open, sisters Serena and Venus Williams boasted that they could beat any man ranked outside the world’s top 200. The challenge was accepted by Karsten Braasch, a German player ranked No 203 (his highest ranking was No 38). Before the matches, Braasch played a round of golf in the morning, drank a couple of beers, smoked a few cigarettes, and then played the Williams sisters for a set each, one after the other. He defeated Serena, 6-1, and Venus, 6-2. Serena said afterwards ‘I didn’t know it would be that hard. I hit shots that would have been winners on the women’s tour and he got to them easily.’”

Here’s another article with an interview w/ Braasch, good natured, but clear about the difference in play between men and women. He also says that he heard the Williams sisters had revised the criteria to a mans no. 350 or lower, and he told them to wait another week and he’d qualify:

LOL, that was pretty funny!
John McEnroe even said that if Serena were to compete with the men she would be ranked around 700.
Them be the facts.
Yep...
I have nothing against women competing against women, but in nearly every single sport, it is not the highest or best level of competition.
That is why women’s basketball ranks so far down in viewership compared to men’s basketball...or any other sport that has two competitions.
Women’s figure skating is more fun to watch for me (as a guy) but I think it is the outfits.
Same for women’s golf.
And women’s tennis.
As you said...for most guys, them be facts!
This would abolish women’s tennis
Abolish gender segregation in ALL sports, have absolutely NO QUOTAS and give the Feminists a look at what TRUE equality looks like....from the bench.
