Does men and women competing together help ensure women are respected and treated in exactly the same way as men?
Are women more likely to get equal treatment in sports where men and women can compete together? Why / Why not?
Superb Opinion
What do you mean by men and women competing together? Do you mean women's teams competing against men's teams? Or do you mean mixed teams? Please give some specific examples of how you think this would work. What sports are you thinking of and how would men and women compete together in them?
And similarly, what would be the objective, who would benefit from it and how would it justify the obvious costs to doing it?
Sorry for all the questions but I suspect you haven't really thought this though. But if I'm wrong and you have thought it through, please share your thoughts on how it would work and why it would be a good thing.

I don't understand the question. Do you mean competing against one another?
Men shouldn’t be in womens sports. Not even trans ones. If you want to make a coed team. Go ahead. But. Men should not be on womens teams (nor should women be on mens).
okay. Irs one thing if someone wants to dress and act like a girl. It’s another when they’re winning Miss America competitions and being in womens sports and using women's facilities

If women do well within their own sport AND don't hate men and complain that they don't get paid the same for SIGNIFICANTLY less ability, then they are treated equally.
Examples would be women's soccer with all the man hating feminists and dishonest hypocritical complainers not getting much because not as many people want to go see complainers that hate the potential fans.
On the other end for women's tennis there wasn't hardly any man hating complainers when compared to soccer so more men enjoyed watching it since they weren't constantly hating on men. The effect was that women now get the same money as the men in tennis because plenty of fans pay to see them play.
Women can't keep saying how much they dislike someone and then expect that person to pay to watch them and support them.
Athletic pay is based on how much draw they get. How much they contribute to the sport's income from fans. that is also why even on the same team, different players will get paid vastly different amounts based on how much fanfare they have and how much they contribute to the team's success. Such as in the NFL, some quarterbacks get over $10 million per year where as some punters only get $300k per year. It is a huge difference.

No, it has nothing to do with that. By "equal treatment" if you're talking about percentages of revenue earned, the women WAY outearn the men in pretty much all pro sports. However, if you're talking about how people view or talk about the sport it doesn't have so much to do with gender as it does just if the majority of fans find the sport fun enough to watch and pay for. For example, women's basketball has a much lower viewership compared to men's, but in MMA and Boxing, there are many women who outearn many male counterparts.

No one is going to respect you in sports unless you're their teammate and you are good at what you do. Your competition sees you as the enemy. They will talk shit. They will cheat and break rules. They will get rough with you. Shit a few of them will spit in their hand when your team shake hands with their team at the end of a game. If you want everything to be soft and cuddly, take up quilting. Sports are competitive. People play to win.

Watch this, and you will understand.
They lose to 15-year-old teenage boys. They can't even beat boys who aren't even finished with puberty.
They are not even in their final forms yet, and they can beat the world champion, the female team.

I know people are going to hate me for saying this, but they already do get equal treatment. Equal treatment does not equal equal pay. You have to earn your pay. When people watch sports, they generally like to watch it being done at the highest level. In most cases, that means watching men's sports.

If you mean team sports where men and women form the team, and compete on the same level against a similarly formed team, then this is a valid form of competition. Mixed doubles tennis is an obvious one. And for once, the sexes are not pitted against one another, they are working together old stylee.
I would expect all team mates to get the same treatment as they are part of the same exhibition. -
Not really sure what you even mean. Do you think the female college swimmers were getting "equal treatment" when they let Lia "Da MAN" Thomas compete with them? Did that help ensure that they're respected? Genuinely curious as to your thoughts on this.

It won't happen. Not unless Womens sports suddenly does as well in advertisements, and ticket sales as mens sports. Sorry you but until they bring the same revenue as their male counterparts, they will never be paid the same. This wage gap in sports is not sexism, it is the fact that people, women included, just do not want to watch womens sports.

I've never understood why some women have such a problem with this. Take the NBA for example. Most WNBA teams are insolvent. If it wasn't for the NBA funding them they would have went bankrupt years ago. Understand I don't have a problem with women sports. I think women should do whatever they enjoy. But you can't get angry because nobody enjoys watching you.
In short, you get equal treatment when you put forth an equal product.

Women just want to be men because men are obviously superior. That’s what this whole family attack from LGBT and feminism is about. The country crumbles when traditional family crumbles and Stalin knew what he was doing as both educator and unsaved preacher kid. He understood the whole equation…
-
No, sorry.
Men win.
-
We are sailing boat races with a mixed crew.
''Equality'' is the last thing we think or speak about.
Politics would distract us from winning.
-
you would hope but until jamie chadwick is driving a formula one car i feel most of it is just virtue signaling bullshit sadly
-
I think it should be allowed in all sports of all types and ages. Even if the men typically would win there would always be the exceptions and we’d just see women as strictly equals.
-
respect isn't something to be given. it's something to be earned.
-
The bottom line is women get beat too easily, even by a man in a dress.
-
There is no equality in sports as you're not dealing with equal brands or equal businesses.
-
When they compete at the same level they do. Shirley Muldowney, Libby Rhodes, Susan Butcher come to mind.
-
There are no sports where "women and men can compete together", if it's done honestly.
-
No. Take your first picture as a example. If women want equality those women should wear the exact same swimmingtrunks the guys wear. If they can't do such a simple effort for equality, don't expect to recive equality if you don't give it
