Men don't care. Women care. They want their own teams.

So why aren't they all fighting each other? Because it wouldn't be much of a fight. Because the fights are matched based on weight, not on gender.

But I'll bet if you chose to select teams based on ability, rather than gender, you'd come up with a decent mix of people. And sure - one set of teams might end up being all men. But it wouldn't be required that their gender be male. It would simply be the natural result of selecting by ability. They'd compete against each other NOT because they're men, but because they all fit within a certain standard of ability. And if it just so happens that you get a woman, or a transgender, or a hermaphrodite, or someone who claims no gender at all, who is able to bat home runs better than Hank Aaron, well then you should be grateful she/they/he is in your league and not be too concerned that their genitals look different from yours.

If you can do A, B, and C proficiently, then you are in THIS league.
If you can do A, B, and C only moderately, then you are in THAT league.
If you can do A, B, and C excellently, you belong in THAT OTHER league.

All are open to any gender, no gender, unsure gender, whatever gender. Gender ceases to matter.
You'd lose that bet.

Men will be stronger and faster regardless of "weight class"...

You missed that.

I used prizefighting as an example of what I was talking about. Obviously weight doesn't matter when you're talking about golf. You'd need a different set of criteria. Whether or not you are possessed of a p.e.n.i.s. or vagina or both or neither should be absolutely, positively, unequivocally irrelevant.

Edit: ridiculous periods between the letters of the word because apparently ToTV is too immature to accept the actual word. Interesting that it has no problem with the word vagina though.

Projection and wishful thinking all in the last sentence! Amazing.

I don't think it's fair for those who were born with inherently superior strength as a male, to compete against females where those attributes are a factor and give a big advantage. More importantly in the big scheme of things however, is the outright disgusting comments made by quite a few in this thread. The world is ugly and hateful enough, so why do so many believe it is their job to spread, exhibit and/or expose their unfortunate disease of anger, ugliness, hatred and discrimination to everyone else? Speaking of genetics, and recognizing the unsolvable nature/nurture argument, one can still only hope that these nasty folks - cannot genetically pass on their disease.

If you actually read my response, I said "regardless of weight"...

Smaller men still have an physical advantage over women of the same size...

You know... Science...

And again - I refer you to the word "ability."

Ability doesn't equate with size.

A 13-year-old 100-pound 5'0" geeky girl with a 170iq is no less able to do things that require a high IQ than a 30-year-old 170-pound 5'10" guy who has a perfect 6-pack and can lift 240 pounds with one hand.

A short, slender, agile but not muscular amateur league golfer female who has 20 years experience playing and has 11 holes in one recorded in league play, is no less capable of being on a man's league than a heavier, taller, more muscular male with 20 years of experience playing with 11 holes in one recorded in league play.

A female bowler with a 235 average is no less capable of bowling a 300 than a male bowler with a 235 average.

I totally disagree. Apparently, you have never golfed.

And it wouldn't matter how long your drive is, whether you use irons or woods or sand wedges or whatever other fancy doodads you have. It wouldn't matter if you have 4 more muscles than I have, or if you're playing with an eyepatch covering one eye. If we are both capable of the exact same thing, no more than the other, then we are evenly matched.

If you are more capable than I am, then we're not evenly matched. You'd go be with a group of people who are more capable. I'd be with a group that is less capable. And that might include men. It might include transgenders. It might include men who identify as women but are still men, and women who identify as men but are still women. I don't care who it is. I don't care how tall, short, fat, thin they are, whether their boobs are bigger or smaller than mine, or whether they pee standing up or copping a squat. I care only that we are evenly matched in ability.
The average male pro can drive a lot further than an average female. There is that upper body strength you overlook.

The average male who fits into the category of "people who can drive XXX yards" will be exactly equal to the average female who fits into the category of "people who can drive XXX yards."

There are female pro golfers who put some of those pro male golfers to shame. Being able to hit far doesn't mean being able to hit accurately.

This discussion is example of an apple picker describing the surgical technique to repair a brain aneurysm. Point being this isn’t worth discussing.
