Listened to you for many years. I've taken away from that athletics has never been a strength of yours. You've always showed a bias toward it. And seemed to never the reasons people compete and enjoy sports.

I totally respect that argument, and it's a good one. But if that's really the line of reasoning we want to go with and why even have women's sports at all? There are no rules keeping women out of the NBA. Women's sports were created specifically to give women a separate space

Intramural sports give all the benefits of sports. Women and men have all the space they need for that.

It rewards the fairness of skill in the area that the skill is performed. A man's body is different than a woman's and so they have to have them separate when it comes to natural athletic prowess. Only a select few of the female athletes can dunk for example.

only the smaller men can't dunk but if put to another test as far as raw strength in lifting power they would outlift the female version I would imagine. There are all these unfair advantages and differences, I don't know why its such a big thing. Ppl just like to act sympathetic

Sports reward both unfairness (genetic advantage) and fairness (achievement via hard work). The question is whether the balance between those two things is fair.

On that logic, stop giving any scholarships. All scholarships have requirements that will allow only certain people to get them, and others won't have a chance.

Your blindspot here is society has strived for the fairest system by breaking sports into skill/age levels and by gender. Not a perfect system and unfairness will always exist. But entering a new variable never before considered introduces a system wrecking level of unfairness

Would it also be unfair to award scholarships based on academic performance given some people are naturally smarter than others?
-
no, because that's an actually relevant variable when it comes to college would it make sense to employ athletes based on their gpa?
