"As a sport, it's a girls sport," Section 11 executive director Ed Cinelli told MyFoxNY.com. "When a boy plays, it leads the way for other male players to come in and take over.

So much for equality......let girls into boy scouts , let girls play football, let girls wrestle, but if the boy is to good and beats the girls, kick him out.


You've come a long way baby.

I was kinda thinking something similar to that.
 

I personally don't believe girls should be allowed to compete with guys in certain sports, especially those containing rough personal contact.

I'd have no problem with a girl competing against guys in baseball, basket ball, golf, tennis, swimming, track, soccer or even hockey. However, I do not agree that a girl should be allowed to play football (at least not after little league) and definitely not wrestling with guys.

I know football. I played football. For many players on the field football is nothing less than legalized assault.

As for wrestling, do you really want your young daughter or son in that close of contact with one another especially during and after puberty? As a christian male and a potential father, I would not want my child male or female to subjected to that.

You have a VERY good point.

I have played on men/women baseball/softball teams, trained in martial arts with men, trained with men at the police academy and have wrestled/scuffled with more bad guys than I care to remember. During those times, no part of a woman's body is sacred and there are probably no remarks a man can make to a woman that I haven't heard. I didn't care for it, but I was an adult and knew what I was getting myself into. You can't lock up every sleazy guy OR WOMAN on the planet for sexual harassment. There is a price to pay for entering "a man's world". It doesn't work the same in theory as it does in practice. I could NOT have handled it as a teen and I wouldn't want my daughter to either.

I'm not saying all guys behave this way, but we all know many do. For that matter, we know that some young women can make sailors blush too. Men are not always the bad guys or aggressors. I must be fair.

Team sports are about more than just playing a game. They can be amazing teaching tools for young men and women in ways they might not be if they were gender mixed. I say this as a single mom who raised a teen son alone. The male bonding thing was VERY important to him. I know that the camaraderie I had with the girls on my teams was very special as well. Sports is also a great way for teens to work out some of the..umm...aggression they experience. Having members of the opposite sex out there conducting themselves improperly is not going to be helpful in this regard and you can't catch or suspend them all.

There was a time in my life when I would have been the first to be offended by what I just said, mainly because I wasn't allowed to play Little League back in the day. :) But I'm a woman now and I know there is a larger picture and if we want to cross certain gender lines (male AND female), we need to be prepared for what we find there. It's not pretty. Some can handle it. Many can't.

I am in favor of separating the sexes for schooling altogether. Until college that is. It worked at the height of the British Empire.

Not me. Too many of my girlfriends who didn't attend school with boys went completely boy crazy when they left home and ended up in trouble. SOME male/female socialization is good, but not body to body contact on a daily basis :)

Gr, gotta jump ship and agree with Jules on this one. There's a fine line between protecting and repressing. As Monty Python most delicately put it, the Brits seemed to have walked a bit too far to the right "help, help I'm being repressed".

When something repressed has finally been unrestrained... it does seem to want to explode.
 
You guys are right. Introducing it now would be like bringing the dinosaurs back to life. It worked in a 19th century environment with a relatively low amount of explosions. Wouldn't do the same today.
