I’ve never understood why bathrooms or sports are segregated by gender. Makes absolutely no sense to me and I’ll go to my dying day believing it’s nonsense.

    As a man, I don’t really care if a woman comes into the same bathroom as me or faces me on the football field. Whatever “threat” they might pose to me, men already do that times five.

    What I worry about is the reality it leads to. I’m afraid that in sports it ends up with only men’s teams, and the only women who qualify are genetic outliers that the vast majority of women in the world can’t relate to at all. It’s like me looking up to Shaq O’Neal and thinking someday I’m going to be like him - not going to happen.

    Men have nothing to lose here, whereas women have everything to lose.

        If I’m a woman and the only women I see doing professional sports are equivalent to Shaq then why would I even bother trying unless I’m a genetical freak as well.
