      First woman I’ve met who supports it. Out of curiosity you would be okay entering competitions where you have no chance of winning?

        Have you ever competed in sports ever in your life? What a fucking loser statement this is. I’ve also entered tournaments where I know I’ll never come first, but I show up to compete and see how well I can do and try to get better for the next one.

        Holy fuck you are just a dumb motherfucker.

        Sure, I do it all the time. Turns out, volleyball has a real advantage for height. Should we ban all women over 6ft from playing volleyball? Being that tall is inherently unfeminine. Or maybe we should just ban any women who are too good at sports? Women are supposed to be gentle and soft, not aggressive! Get those aggressive, competative, manly women outta here.

        The situation you’re talking about is rare enough to be negligible compared to the number of people excluded from women in sports communities for no reason. And honestly, for the VAST majority of athletes, playing sports is about community and inclusion, not accolades.
