From a serious post from the Family Research Council about the real biological differences between guys and gals and that today’s society is being manipulated by the Left in trying to erase biological facts (yes, go read it):
But we do not live in level-headed times. In Wisconsin, Governor Tony Evers said a bill to protect girls’ sports would “prevent [transgender students] from reaching their full potential.” Where is his concern for the potential of young female athletes who are getting man-handled (in some cases, literally)? State Representative Janel Brandtjen (R), the bill’s sponsor, responded, “You can’t win against men, that’s biology, the reality…. Why would you compete if you knew you wouldn’t win?” They became futile in their thinking.
There’s nothing inherently immoral about men and women competing against one another in sports. After all, no one is complaining about co-ed leagues. Nor is it true that every male athlete can defeat every female athlete. But it is unfair to force girls to face off against boys, one-on-one, to be declared the best female. And it is profoundly uninteresting to watch lopsided contests. Inherent physical differences between men and women are the reason why separate athletic competitions for women were created in the first place.
As soon as I read “co-ed leagues,” my brain instantly brought up something that I hadn’t thought about in 40-odd years: our co-ed quiet floor at 700 Commonwealth Ave dorm (18A) at BU decided to field a team to do intramural Broomball Hockey with real brooms (not the plasticy thingies that most of the images DuckDuckGo brought up), a round ball like those used for Dodgeball (back in the day before the Education Mavens / SJWs decided it was too rough and too “unequal”), a hockey rink – and sneakers.
Yep, slick ice and sneakers – it leveled the playing field, to a point. Six players on the ice for each team, three men and three women, on the ice at any one time. And yes, there were inequalities between the players – some had played real hockey, some were just natural athletes and quickly adapted. Spoiler – we easily took the championship for that season.
Why?
We had a couple of pretty good guys that played high school hockey. Better yet, we had three REALLY good former high school field hockey girls. We all jelled quickly as a team and just outplayed all the others.
Frankly, if it hadn’t been for the girls, it would have been hard – they were that good. But not better than the guys on the team. They were, as alluded to by the piece from FRC, much better than the girls on the other teams. Truth be known, they were a lot better than some of the guys on the other teams, too.
But on average, they were outclassed by most of the guys on the other teams. While the ice slowed us all down, the guys were faster, more accurate, and had more endurance – puberty had left its mark and even the spitfire nature of our gals who refused to lose couldn’t compete even after adjusting to the game’s important techniques. They were our ace in the hole compared to almost all the other girls in the league.
The title of the FRC post is “Men and Women Are Equal, Not Identical”. The Left yammers that the sexes/genders aren’t equal because the rest of us refuses to see the sexes / genders as identical in all ways. God made us complementary, not the same. God made each with different attributes – to be treasured and not erased.
Conservatives treasure all as Individuals – the Left wants to set the psychological tone (and lie) that there cannot be any difference in order to support their ideology that we’re just cogs in their machine in their march to Utopia (who knew that Utopia would be made up of cogs???).
Guess they never played Broomball ice hockey.
Now, I’m remembering the bruises that came with trying to slide on the ice and my sneakers hit some straw that some errant broom had left on the ice that resulted in the envisioned slide on my face or hip…..
