Girls, do you think women should compete with men in sports?

Yes! I love this question because I thought about it before. I honestly think that in school we all should just mix. And there should be sports with mixed teams! I can't wait for that day to come! Even in a professional level I think it could be possible but the way society thinks needs to change.
but doesn’t that seem kind of unfair? I think it’s fine in sports like soccer and such but I feel like it’s not right in sports like wrestling, waterpolo MMA etc because in these sports men would have a big advantage.
Mixed for school levels and such and such is fine but the professional level think it would be really unfair as well considering the difference between men and women. Men hold nearly every Olympic record and the gap is more noticeable between two pro men and women.
And then in sports like waterpolo and others with a lot of dirty plays you’d have a lot of awkward situations considering groin strikes and such are sort of allowed and lots of groping and potential for harassment.
I’m ok with it honestly I just think it would sort of discourage some men and women from doing sports because they fear harassment or awkward situations. I feel like sexual harassment within sports would increase a lot if we had mixed leagues. But at the same time it would make men and women more comfortable with each other.
It’s kind of interesting in that in ancient Sparta men and women would often wrestle each other naked for sport in matches with fairly lax rules (groin strikes allowed etc.) and while this was awkward I’m sure this caused both genders to have greater respect for each other and led to an increased comfort around the opposite sex and surprisingly Sparta at the time was the only society in Greece that allowed completion between women and also, coincidently was the only society at the time that allowed women to own land, have power in the government and so on, so maybe this sort of raw competition between the genders was a good thing in terms or promoting gender equality? It’s just that we live in a different society now I think gender mixing in modern sports would make some sports less appealing to some and scare people away from competing.
Maybe we could have separate mixed divisions in some sports for people that want that?
*competition between men and women
@questiongirl567 why would they fight naked?
Asker, well I’m talking about ancient Sparta they had completely different views on things like sexuality and nudity. Keep in mind this was a very long time ago as a lot of ancient spartan history predates the Roman Empire.
They competed naked because it was common place to play sports in the nude anyways at the time. In the first ever ancient Olympic games in Greece one of the main rules was that athletes were required to compete in the nude.
Sparta was a society that was very comfortable with sexuality and displaying the body in full so it wasn’t seen as taboo for them. It was just seen as normal sports attire and if things got sexual it didn’t matter to them because Sparta didn’t really frown on sex and homosexuality like the Victorian era did.
@questiongirl567 I feel like it would be so weird watching a naked man and woman fight.. lol i wonder how that would go
@questiongirl567 Yeah Sparta time was probably an interesting time to be alive. Its funny because you said all the pros and cons so of course won't be a easy trasition but I still believe that we could have mixed sports. Honestly about the fighting sports I still think that it could be possible to mix but of course people with similar levels. As you said if we started mixing since we are all really young then we will be much more confortamble with the opposite gender. Will be a life changer decision. I hope humanity realizes that to divide genders like that will always make women feel they are less or they can't reach to a certain level. ( what isn't true) and men will always think that women are fragil and less capable. ( what isn't true). Starting Sparta naked games is a tottaly different level ah ah but that would be interesting too. XD
I would get totally distracted by his penis and balls in a naked fight
Well thats exactly the problem. Its a cultural thing. We should be used to see naked bodies, should be a natural thing.
Wouldn’t it be uncomfortable for boobs and balls to be swinging around with no support? Can you imagine how much bouncing there would be?
Lol yes. Again is a natural thing.
Who do you think would be more vulnerable with their parts hanging out?
None of the guys in my martial arts class will spar w a woman without their cup lol can you imagine them be completely exposed down there?
Asker, actually historically most ancient societies didn’t wear pants. The Romans actually considered pants to be “barbaric”. the Greeks and Romans would usually just wear some form of cloth covering the entire body and neither gender would wear any supporting underwear/bras. Everything on our body evolved to hang freely. The Spartans in combat typically just wore a short skirt with nothing underneath and a helmet and chest plate and that was usually it. Roman soldiers pretty much wore the same attire and a short skirt with nothing underneath. So it can all move around and hang freely it’s just we aren’t used to that in our society.
and I mean I don't know mens parts are more sensitive in that one area but they are a lot stronger so it doesn’t matter too much.
@questiongirl567 but any time I’ve seen a guy take a tap in his privates he goes down
@questiongirl567 do you think men could also get turned on in those situations?
No... not because i am Biased... but simply because it will be an unfair play. Men will always hold out longer than women... it's because of their adrenaline... their body build... etc.
Do you play any sports?
No (swim, martial arts, dance, football, volleyball, basketball...). Men are stronger than women mainly because of their hormones. It would be unfair
Do you do anything of those sports?
Some sports sure
Like ping pong maybe 😆
What about college football? did you hear the story of the female kicker?
I don't think women should compete with men. They have a huge physical advantage.
Not unless they let us win.
Do you compete in any sports?
In some yes in others no
Maybe pool, or golf, and cheer.
Superb Opinion
