If it happens to separate by gender, so be it, but if someone is higher or lower than the average for their gender then they can compete among other people on their level. The fact that we separate by gender in spite of how, as this thread points out, there is a large amount of variability within that category that goes against the idea that this addresses the ability gap, just shows that we're not separating for that reason, we're separating for sexual discrimination. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment load more comments (1 reply) [–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (5 children) Sports are dumb, just stop caring. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago Life is objectively dumb.
