The rational disconnect here is remarkable among conservatives. When women can't compete against men in combat, we tell them they don't belong in combat. But when it comes to any other facet of life where they can't compete, we just fall back on our Bibles and tell them they should compete separately -- like they're Special Olympians?

What rational disconnect? Women generally can't compete physically with men. Therefore:

- Women shouldn't goto war fighting against men.
- Women shouldn't sport competing against men.

How are those opposite stances? If women want to sport, they should have their own without men. If women want to war, it'd be nice if they could have their own battlefield, but war doesn't work that. Sports can though. Are you saying that since women shouldn't be in combat, they shouldn't play sports at all also?

The bigger issue here is having the government involved at all. “Fixing” the problem means overturning Title IX regulations for scholastic sports that go back decades. As is often the case, conservatives end up fighting the wrong battles — or, in many cases, the right battles years too late.

Post #17 captures the problem perfectly. Title IX should have been fought when it was being cited by schools that shut down perfectly good male sports teams because they couldn’t meet the Federal government’s asinine demand that women/girls comprise 50% of their student-athletes.
