In the name of  "equality",  we must strive to make "a woman be  more like a man".

Sport is an activity created by men to enhance masculinity and strength.  It was an extension of war. Female athetes become very masculine, more like  imitation men.   There are very few sports that enhance the beauty and grace  of the woman.

They are  even competing in weight lifting now!

Actually, it is in the spirit of individual liberty that we must strive to allow individuals to express whatever they may choose for themselves, as long as it doesn't harm others.

But that may be too much of a Western / Enlightenment / Humanist idea to have merit, for some critics of my civilisation.

Sport is a set of activities that many women just do for the fun of it. Can you believe in the intrinsic joy a woman experiences when being a good sporter? Or must you call it a misguided attempt to imitate male war games?

In any case, your stance resonates well with the plans the Taliban have for their wives & daughters.

That is because of your understanding the concept of modesty which I would argue is incorrect and at varience with tradition. We can discuss this on the DJ board if you would like.

Uh, No, No, and no thanks.

I'll learn my Judaism in a yeshiva, thank you.

Would you apply that to groups as well?
