“I can not think of one common sense reason to allow males to compete against females in sports.”

What about the shooting sports? Pistol shooting anyway.

I don’t engage in shooting as a sport, so I don’t know much about it.

Hmmm.... I do not know if women compete equally with men in shooting sports. There may be some type of fatigue factor that comes into play.

-Nonetheless-

One sport should not set the rule for all sports.

I can see allowing women to compete against men if they want to, say maybe golf? But not visa-versa.

OK. I couldn’t resist. I did some research and found this.

Men DO perform better in pistol shooting than women by a small margin. BUT the number of male competitors is way larger than women. And drawing from a lager of pool of competitors may be the reason.

Now, what about Curling?
