The feminists will screech until the cows come home but if world War 3 starts they'll all be proven hypocrites as they'll want to revert to the kitchen and not be on the front lines. Feminism only exists for convenience purposes, not commitment.
Let me know when another draft happens. Too base an argument off of something less likely to happen than me winning the lottery shows you are too emotional to form a coherent argument. Now go fix that dry wall please.
I'm old enough to have actually watched the match and this 1000% false. If you have to lie, you admit that you are wrong. They played tennis as it was designed. Same net (not higher on 1 side), same service rules (2 misses is a double fault), same boundaries.
Ah, the post-feminist view. I’m sure you’re trolling, but the point you make is absolutely consistent with what we tell ourselves today. We decided that hormones and operations and your personal decision can change how you were born, and for anyone to fail to acknowledge this is hatred. So it really makes no sense to suddenly have strict sex categories in sports, when we’ve been insisting those don’t exist anywhere else.
There is no middle ground. We must be all the way, one way or the other.
The story about Riggs having only one serve and King hitting to a wider court is false. As stupid as the match was, it was taken seriously and there is no way King would have been given a handicap. A video of the entire match is available on YouTube and if you watch it for a few minutes, you’ll see that they were playing under the same rules.
Women's hands are smaller. Also, the lighter ball makes it a little easier to make long passes and put up long shots. Not certain why they should be beholden to the size that has been deemed to be the right size for 6'9" men.
On this day in 1992, Jimmy Connors and Martina Navratilova squared off in the Battle of Champions and Connors put a million-dollar bet on himself to win
Chess is open to both sexes, at least theoretically. But because the vast majority of chess players, particularly at the higher levels, are boys and men - and sexism, misogyny and sexual harassment of girls and women are unfortunately rife within the chess world - additional competitions, classes and programs have been created for female players in the hopes that this will lead to an increase in female participation and skill levels.
Special female-only chess classes and competitions have also been added because many girls and women around the world live under cultural, religious, familial or legal strictures that prohibit or strongly discourage them from being in close physical contact with members of the opposite sex who aren't their blood relatives or spouses.
Also, elite chess competitions tend to be by invitation based on ability. Since only the highest-rated players get invites, and the highest-rated players are mostly males, lots of chess tournaments that are theoretically open to both sexes end up being male-only.
The same is true in elite "e sports." Though about 30-40% of people who play video games competitively are girls and women, in elite professional competition all or nearly all the players and teams are guys.
Girls and women in competitive gaming get tons of misogynistic hostility and abuse. In an attempt to draw in more women and girls, separate women's tournaments are now held. But those competitions are often dominated by male gamers who identify as trans.

The thing about the women's basketball is the ball is smaller so the rim circumference should be proportionally smaller but it isn't.
Women's basketball uses a smaller ball for some stupid reason.

Also, there is an enormous difference in the grip strength of males and females - and arm, shoulder and upper-body strength overall.
Even when girls and women have hands that as big as boys' and men's, they're not nearly as strong.
I hope you're not refering to Billy Jean and Boby Riggs? You do realize that wasn't an even affair. Besides the fact that Billy Jean was one of the best women in the world at that time and Riggs was a washed-up-never-been, the rules went in favor of BJ to make it interesting. Riggs had only one serve and BJ was able to use the doubles alleys. There's your shining example of women's equality in tennis. I'd love o see some chick trying to return Roddick's 150mph serve.
Also, make those ladies stop screaming on every stroke, it's not fun to watch or listen to.

Riggs was just a hobbist, and she was the best in the world. He was old, she was at her peak.
