Exactly. This is how to kill off this silly crap.

I have to think about the shame and ignominy poor Roger Maris had to carry with that asterisk for decades just because he had a few extra games. None of these mentally ill “record holders” will have their stats examined, debated and scrutinized like Maris’s one extra homer was.

Beg to differ with the author.

Female equestrians compete on a level field with males.

They go to the Olympics regularly.

Female Equestrians.

“Feminists” don't even oppose Islam and sharia law, at least not so anyone can tell that they do, seeing as they had a Muslim female who wants sharia law in the US, as their spokeswoman at their million female march, or whatever it was called (it's always “a million” something. Can't wait to see the “million trannies” march.)

They don't oppose violence on women when the perpetrator is black or Muslim.

So they're certainly not going to oppose mentally ill men who think they're women (or the perverts pretending to be such), just to uphold the feminist banner for the girls who are being forced into unfair competition.

They better hope no one ever finds a sodomite gene, because they'll really have a dilemma when women want to murder their unborn child who has tested positively for it.

This is an effort to marginalize women, nothing else.

For all of the advances women have made, which the left claimed to promote, all of a sudden the left has decided that there is no place for women in huge segments of society.

In sports, the marginalization is especially evident. But it is evident in other sectors, as well.

In politics, for example, intelligent women are shunned and we get fetid examples of sheer stupidity and insanity in the likes of Maxine Waters, Nancy Pelosi... forget trying to name them all, there are so many. It is difficult to think of an intelligent woman elected to any office; I’m sure they exist, but no names come to mind as they are systematically marginalized by the political and media sectors. One can look at many other sectors to see a similar dynamic—the more stupid a woman is, the more she is promoted, while truly intelligent women are shunned. There is also a movement to marginalize women who care about their appearance.

I think the crowning moment of the left’s opinion of women came during the “women’s march” against Trump—when women purposefully displayed their perception of their contributions to human society by dressing as giant genitalia. So, to the left, women are nothing but animated sex toys—wow.

Destroy the patriarchy and you destroy the culture and create chaos—like a company without a CEO.

There is a need for order and the Christian patriarchy is he most logical and natural and EQUAL of any ethic/cultural system in the history of the world. Women are NOT interchangeable with males and babies need nursing mothers at home and to bond with for the early years along with the father for role models of Reality. Grandma and Grandpa are indispensable.

That is why ALL Christian traditions are being jettisoned-—to condition and brainwash little children, remove concept of mother and father, so they are so ignorant of common sense and understanding of Natural law (natural instincts) so that they will be easily controlled (Mind Controlled, like snowflakes, where they are so ignorant of everything important and Truth/Reality that FEELINGS determine EVERYTHING—feel good, do it).

Bond with your babies and only raise them inside the Natural Family, so they can realize Truth—unlike tribal, communal minds in artificial institutions devoid of parents, who only remain “group-(non)-thinkers”. (Animals without Reason and Logic). Classical Christian curricula only creates the great minds and freedom unknown in all of history until the USA—total Christian only concept—in organization for a “Just”, free system.

“Female equestrians compete on a level field with males.”

Same with shooters and chess players, since victory doesn’t depend on the physical strength of the human in those events.

Not exactly relevant, though, to physical sports like running, wrestling, etc.

“Even according to activist ideology, gender is a social construct but sex is biological. And when it comes to male and female athletic competition, we divide based on biological sex.”

This needs to be repeated often. The conflation of sex (biological) with gender (social/psychological) is pure Orwellian Newspeak. It makes it impossible to have a logical discussion about the topic. And, of course, that was the intent all along.

This applies to all the discussion about “bathroom laws” too. If the biological components are intact, males should not be allowed in female wash/change/dressing rooms — regardless of their “gender” identity.

We should use “sex”, when we’re discussing biological matters — and reserve “gender” for the social/psychological aspects of these issues (if you can’t find a way to avoid these altogether). Language matters — that’s why the other side goes to such lengths to control it.

the metric that should have been employed was plate appearances; Maris only had 7 more than Ruth, not particularly a significant difference...

That is where the advantage in sports lies. The females get male hormones and get stronger. The males are stronger. In sports women are pretty much obsolete. They should be homemakers and raise children which is the most beneficial female vocation for society.

Yeah, I’m a sexist. Or something. It is women, sort of- the feminists, that have brought us to this pass. They sought to make men obsolete and are doing it, instead, to women.

Genetic testing and no doping, no male hormones for female athletes.

Feminists don't like men, that's obvious, but they don't seem to like women either.
Look how they come up with one thing after another that end up working against women and girls, no matter what the stated intent was.
