    That’s definitely one way of making sure that a woman will never win again in athletics.

    They did do that in golf, of course with handicaps like a shorter tee off for women, so not a fair competition.

      You’re saying that even the weakest biologically male athlete could beat the strongest biologically female athlete?

      Because otherwise, “never win again” seems kind of unlikely.

        My god what an asenine take.

        No, but no woman would ever win with the best from both genders attending.

        I don’t think you could even qualify for the mens qualifiers in athletics with the world records for women.

          You do know there are tons of co-ed sports out there, right? And women win them all the time.

          But please, continue to be rude. That will definitely prove something or other.

                Womens discus weigh 1 kg

                Mens weigh 2 kg

                Next you’ll tell me women are hindered by being forced to use a smaller discus or something.

                  This is what you said:

                  Good, name one and ill give you a list of world records in athletics.

                  Where’s the list of world records?

                    But you named a sport that wasn’t co-ed, so they don’t have world records for women throwing a man’s discus.

                    I’m giving you some context since you clearly don’t know anything about sports.
