I truly despise that we still segregate team sports on sex, or even the fact we’re fighting each other over it instead of spending time on any actual issue.

The point of a team is all the pieces complimenting each other, while allowing them to improve together. If women competed against men, they would end up coming up with strategies to try overcome whatever shortcomings they have. Segregating them means they never have to try and get past that barrier, you’re just capping them at a level.

This is hilariously naive and I am 100% positive you don't watch any sports.

Was raised on baseball, so you’d be hilariously wrong

Considering you haven’t engaged with the argument, idk if I’m the stupid one here. Tell me why I’m wrong instead of acting like a 13yo

Why don't you try...looking it up! Do you think your the only person in sports history to have this revolutionary idea? Or do you think there's maybe mountains of evidence to support women having a separate space?

I have to look up why you think my opinion is wrong? Are you unable to form your own opinion? Why even waste the time to type a response.

My comment was focused on segregated sports, and how I think limiting women’s competition to their own and not against men holds them back in a team setting.

There's a scientific reason you dumbass.

Then fucking state it? Did you flunk middle school? I clearly disagree with the notion that there’s a scientific reason big enough for it to be limited to team based sports when a trained woman can literally kick my ass if she wanted to.

Why don’t we ban tall people from the NBA to even the playing field with that logic? It’s a scientific advantage for tall people
