    Similarly, should wrestling teams be co-ed? Given the fact that men more easily build muscle than women, men have a substantial advantage at certain sports like wrestling. Team competitions composed of more men will, statistically speaking, beat teams composed of more women. Thus the result will be that co-ed teams will trend to prefer men, and women will be discriminated against.

    Desegregation will lead to discrimination.

    So which is more important? Equality of treatment or equality of opportunity? In some cases, there simply cannot be both.

    Absolutely, anywhere women compete only amongst themselves that's reverse Chauvinism, and men must be put in there with them by an affirmative action type program to compete with the women.

    Title IX is the law of the land whether anyone likes it or not. Equal access for all.

    Ok, they're agreeing with you.
    Got an issue with that?

    No women should be allowed on men's wrestling teams. Ridiculous. Let women have their own teams. Colleges have enough trouble
    funding men's teams.

    They would be considered coed teams. I see nothing wrong with it since the females wanted in male-dominated clubs and gangs in the 1970's.

    The result will be a lack of access to publicly funded wrestling teams (and likely other sports) for women that can't physically match up to men, which is the vast majority of them.

    Nothing wrong with that?

    I guess it's all just to pass the time away until death anyway. Like it really means a damn thing that is significant. I wrestled on teams for years and yes, I would have preferred wrestling females and I would have lost on purpose..

    I don't think women wrestlers would appreciate your attitude here...

    That's not how affirmative action works.

    How disingenuous of you. You should know, right, that equal access isn't the same as equal, right? So why do liberals always insist on creating artificial boundaries?
