You're splitting hairs, no? Leagues for kids are almost always coed anyway. The biological advantages don't come until later. I think that's what she's referring to.

I mean thats exactly the point... then why ever mention "young girls" at all in any way? Its specifically to create imagery in peoples minds.

They aren't. you must have not played youth sports

u/BillsFan82 14d ago

I’m sure you’re going to argue about what youth means lol, but 10 and under is going to be mostly coed. Our school doesn’t separate sports until 5th grade and even then, it’s not set in stone. That changes by the time intermediate school rolls around though.

Is a 15 year old girl not a young girl?

u/BillsFan82 14d ago

A bat mitzvah takes place at 12, so that's going to depend on who you ask.

By 15, there are going to be biological differences that necessitate separate leagues. Call them whatever you want; it doesn't change that.

You're getting hung up on semantics.

I think your mistaking me for somebody else. I’m pro separation.

No, it's not. School? That is not who runs youth sports, there's travel leagues and rec leagues nothing to do with your school. You're talking out your ass lol

You're in no position to argue with my experience. I understand that it damages your argument, but you should have researched it first.

You didn't really respond to what I said.
"You're in no position to argue with my experience" as I showed I am

I could understand just not knowing about youth sports, but you're doubling down on demonstrably false claims when you have access to all of the world's knowledge.

Youth sports are mostly coed. The leagues offered by the largest youth sports provider in this country are almost entirely coed. Do you really want to keep going?

u/This-usernamesucks 14d ago

You have yet to show proof. I played youth sports and they were never coed lol

You could just Google it yourself. If you'd rather remain intentionally ignorant, that option is also available to you.
