For those delusional social justice warriors who think women can compete at the level a man can, here's a fun little story about the two most dominant female athletes ever facing off against a man
"During the 1998 Australian Open, sisters Serena and Venus Williams boasted that they could beat any man ranked outside the world's top 200. The challenge was accepted by Karsten Braasch, a German player ranked No 203 (his highest ranking was No 38). Before the matches, Braasch played a round of golf in the morning, drank a couple of beers, smoked a few cigarettes, and then played the Williams sisters for a set each, one after the other. He defeated Serena, 6-1, and Venus, 6-2. Serena said afterwards "I didn't know it would be that hard. I hit shots that would have been winners on the women's tour and he got to them easily." Braasch said afterwards, "500 and above, no chance". He added that he had played like someone ranked 600th in order to keep the game "fun"
Nice try, tumblr kiddies. |

Nice try, tumblr kiddies. Using an example of a sport where balance (men have the advantage due to typically lower centre of gravity) and strength (men have the advantage here too) is a nice try. Even better when a large part of the argument against male dominance had been focused more on team sports and you deliberately chose an individual sport to "counter" the claims. Nice try, yourself. LMAO name one sport where balance and strength doesn't matter? Football? wrong Baseball? wrong Basketball? wrong Soccer? wrong Hockey? wrong
Balance and strength are integral parts of every single sport in existence, nice try social justice kiddo
A female goalie once tried to make the NHL leafs' squad. She was given one pre-season game and was so bad she never got another. Good game, was easy. |

They always matter, but in many sports, there are OTHER factors that matter MORE, and particularly there are other factors that matter more for CERTAIN ROLES IN A TEAM.
And your new example is disregarding the entire argument I made in the first "social justice warrior" post that I made.
A huge part of the problem is the social conventions that make sport a less viable avenue for a woman to base her life around. Name one sport where strength and balance aren't integral parts of the game
Women cannot compete on the same level as men in sports, I have evidence to support it, and you cannot show me one instance of a woman being successful in any men's sport |
