Fair enough and in all reality, we pretty much agree there. I think there are plenty of women who are more capable than a lot of the guys who are giving this game a shot right now. Whether any of them will actually make it or not remains to be seen.

Believe me, I'm all about equality, fairness, and making sure opportunity remains open to all. At the same time, it does peeve me a little bit when I see a man or woman in a predominantly opposite sex venue. It just screams "I'm trying to prove something here because of my gender" and simply places a huge bulls eye on their back.

When I was 13 years old and in Pop Warner football there were a few of us who were really, really good. I mean, we were known regionally, and in some cases statewide, as the best young players in the league. That year, one mother (who was insanely feminist) made a huge, huge issue about how her daughter should be allowed to play football with the boys. After a league meeting and decision...they let her join the team. What happened to that poor girl over the next few months because of her insane, feminist mother should never be placed on the back of a child that young. She was beat into the ground physically, mentally, emotionally, and to this day is just not the same person as she was before it.

Sometimes these desires to break barriers and prove points put people into terrible situations in life that they have no business being in.
