Above is this article about a "woman" who kick the shit out of some other women in a foot race. Now they want to gender test her. Ok, so if she turns out to be a male that will disqualify "her". I understand that and it's because the rules are written that way. So here is my question, In our modern politically correct world why are we still segregating men's and women's sports? I thought we are all equal and women can do anything a man can do. Did I miss understand the whole equality thing. Are we in fact actually equal but different? Are women willing to admit they are physically inferior to men on average? Am I going to get responses like, "lets put you up against "X" female athlete and see how you do!" types of responses. Will I be accused of being a chauvinist pig?

To quote a super hero named Johhny; "Flame on!"

i'm glad you popped in, i misspelled chauvinist!

To expand on your initial post, if men and women want to compete equally, by their own agreement...that's fine. Have a men's 100m, a women's 100m, and an open-sex 100m. Let people compete in either their own sex's competition, or the open-sex competition.

That's actually genius. Of course How popular do you think it would be? I mean how many would try it? Has it been done before with professional sports or competitions like the Olympics?
