I’m sick of this bullsh*t.

Just once I’d like to hear that a school or group of schools replied using the term “Grow a pair.”

PC craziness. Let's just eliminate the male gender while we're at it.

Why not let everyone go out for any sport they want — if they can make the team then let them play

That would be equality..

It’s easy. Just do like I did when my wife insisted I try “swing” dancing. I just threw her into the wall. She’s pretty much left me alone since then.

Pfft, we played netball with the girls when I was at school 20 years ago. And girls could play football if they wanted. Actually there was a girl who played on our Cub Scout team for a bit (makes a lot less difference at that age). We also played hockey in mixed sex classes at school as I recall.

Complete waste of time for someone to have to produce policy papers, and no doubt focus groups and some brand new buzz words to boot. On the plus side, if our stupid nanny state government is busying itself with stuff like this, it lessens the possibility of doing any damage meddling with anything important....

Ya know...back in my day, “gender balance” would mean you and your steady sittin’ on a fence, together.

This PC crap is gettin’ way, way outta hand.

Fascinating. I’d never heard of “netball.” It sounds complicated.

It’s very sad, but let’s face it, Great Britain is done for. The US must fight this evil alone.

Britain has taken PC so far they’ve become a joke. They don’t seem to mind it, though.

"Do you encourage girls to participate in rugby, cricket, football and basketball and boys in netball, rounders, badminton and dance?"

Just wait until you have a couple Indian boys against a couple girls in badminton. The top serve speed is over 180 mph. I never saw that in badminton gaves at family picnics.

Why is it always the boys who have to adapt? Make the girls play rugby or something if they want “gender equity”.

Their parents are also being encourage to have one of their testicles removed. Both testicles if the lad is particularly boyish.
