People need to reframe the problem. It’s not an issue of men vs. women. It’s an issue of segmenting the population into groups that can fairly compete with each other. As I can see it, those groups should be split up such that the number of men/women who win is proportional to the number of men/women who compete (i.e. if the group is split up based on height and there are 10% men in that group, men should win about 10% of the time).
Wrestling does it via weight, and different sports might have different metrics.
- twiceaday 7y agoI think the proper framing here is that there is no ambiguity when competition attempts to select the best human. The ambiguity is introduced by people adding rules in order to select the best human fitting some criteria. And usually this means excluding 'men.' This is usually the only reason to introduce the notion of sex into the rules and is the source of all of the ambiguity. Such leagues used to be about selecting women who are the best at competing but are now increasingly becoming about selecting women who are the most man.
