With the ongoing addition of events to the Olympics, the program is swelled to unmanageable levels already. Yet, demands continue to be made for ever more sports to be added, often much of this pressure comes from feminist pressure groups to add even more manly women's events to the already swelled program. However, the question is never asked whether significant numbers of women and girls even play or participate in many of these events in the real world.
For example, in recent games we've seen the addition of women's power lifting, women's wrestling, even women's boxing. In the next olympics, women's rugby will be added as well. Certainly, there are small numbers of women who participate in these sports, however, few of these events have wide worldwide participation among young women and many of them most likely never will. So, why are they force fed into the Olympic program? Well, political reasons obviously.
On the other hand, young women are far more inspired to take up sports and activities that are feminine and fun. If the goal of having more and more women's events in the Olympics is to encourage sports participation and exercise among girls and young women, then it would make sense to add more sports such as Rythmic Gymnastics which are naturally designed for females rather than force feeding more manly sports for women which have few participants in the real world.
For example, I would propose eliminating women's boxing and replacing it with competitive women's dance and replacing women's weightlifting with competitive cheerleading. By cheerleading, I mean real US style high school and college cheer, not pro sports bimbos standing around wiggling poms poms, that is not real cheerleading. HS and college cheer is a real sport and far more girls would like to participate than will ever wish to participate in boxing, etc. I know there will be outrage from this proposal, but I suggest that the most popular women's events today are frequently ones that allow women to still be feminine like gymnastics or figure skating etc. Participation rates should be taken into account.
Other than Bad Baby Sitter and the rest of Rory's alts, I'd like to hear what others think (we already know what BBS thinks on everything, so his participation in the thread is redundant).
