There were 4 boys and 3 girls in my family growing up on the farm.
We always wrestled our sisters but if they got us in leg scissors, we were done for.
My sisters regularly beat up bullies for us.

Collective common sense dies a little more each day.

No. As a girl, let me also state for the record, no girls/women on submarines, aircraft carriers, destroyers or in battle zones. I believe in equal rights but there are just some things and some places that are NOT appropriate for girls/women.

[Iron Munro]

Only in the back seat of a GTO.

[NavyCanDo]

Depends on you voting age I suppose.

7-14 No Way

15-21 Absolutly

22-35 What does she look like?

36-45 No Way

46-59 Absolutly

60-80 Check with your Doctor First - But Duh!

In my best Buggs Bunny voice - "Why, certainly!"

I've played in amateur hockey leagues where women sometimes played on mens' teams. The problem with some of these sports is that there aren't enough female competitors to form their own leagues.

I was never comfortable with it, but if I showed up for a game and learned that the opposing team had a woman playing on it, I wouldn't change the way I played.

There's no way I would support this kind of thing for high school sports, though.

Are we really sure we want to obliterate the last traces of chivalry in young men -- to stamp out every trace of protectiveness from the male psyche?

These people do: The Frankfurt School and The Tavistock Institute

Joel Northrup may have defaulted and lost a temporal battle in the eyes of 'the world' but he surely won the greater match vs pure evil in the world...

as a young man, and as a CHRISTian, he took the hit for the greater GOOD of the Lord...for that Im thankful...

as to the girl and her parents, what are they thinkin ??? i know that if/when my baby girl requests to wrastle with 15 yr old boys [either inside or outside of the ring], I'll not only say no, but "HELL NO !!!" and deal with the situation in a manner that protects her from her own naivete and hormones...

we dont even hafta go 'there' as far as the opportunity that some, if not most 13-17 yr old guys will seek in coed sports...

[Palladin]

Should Boys Be Wrestling Girls?

...only in the back seat of Dad’s ‘72 Oldsmobile.

[paulycy]

I’m not sure, can you hit them with a folding chair?

[Gene Eric]

Absolutely not.

[strider44]

In a word...No. Check out this clip of a 7-year-old national champion. He would destroy any girl he faced. If I were his dad, I wouldn’t want to put him in that position.

[Brad’s Gramma]

The answer is no.

AND, Joel, you are FAR more a man than the pansies in your school district who are trying to force you guys into this.

[GBA]

Of course, but if it happens with an audience and a referee my first thoughts are it’s either a porn movie or divorce court, not high school wrestling.

[happygrl]

add me to the “NO” column.
