Feminist and liberals have their underwear knotted up over an 6′1″ adolescent Oregon girl who has been banned from competing on a boy’s basketball team when she has been more than holding her own. Others point out that women’s sports were created to give girls and women a place to compete, and had that not been done boys and men would elbow them off of nearly every team amateur and professional. In fact boys and men are absolutely barred from competing on girls and women sports team. For instance how many women could compete with a male NBA player for a spot in the WNBA?
Feminist routinely complain that that seldom do WNBA make $100,000 a season while the NBA minimum salary is $477,000. Of course profit for the NBA are more than one hundred fold greater than the WNBA. Is gender “equality” possible or only if the playing field is tilted.

this is a very small issue in compare to the issues faced by the girls around the world. Some facts to be known are
* Of the 1.3 billion people living in poverty around the world, 70% are women.
* Women do about 66% of the world’s work in return for less than 5% of its income.
* In the least developed countries nearly twice as many women over age 15 are illiterate compared to men.
* Two-thirds of children denied primary education are girls, and 75% of the world’s 876 million illiterate adults are women.
* Women work two-thirds of the world’s working hours, produce half of the world’s food, and yet earn only 10% of the world’s income and own less than 1% of the world’s property.

ASHI - YOU’RE partly RIGHT, AND perhaps THAT’S JUST THE POINT. BEYOND IRONY AND WELL into hypocrisy.

I think that this would be something very appropriate for your website to talk about. Women and girls need to be considered equals in life, and as my story shows, girls can earn the respect they deserve. A very young girls’ soccer team played in a league that they dominated. The girls won every game, even against other girls that were older than them. Their coach made a bold move and put them into the boys league. This was met with some criticism, but as the girls did exceptionally well, it made people stop and think about what was fair and right concerning girls and boys. People should not be discriminated against based on gender, and these girls overcame that discrimination.
