| The reason that there are separate leagues for women is because men excel in sports more due to nature and evolution. There is a reason a 16 year old isn't allowed to play in an 8 year old league. It's because they are better physically. The 8 year olds cant help that they haven't hit puberty yet. Similarly, women can't help that they didn't receive a Y chromosome. Although, that is no reason to say that women aren't athletes. The Webster definition of an athlete is "a person who is skilled in exercises, sports, or games requiring physical strength, agility, or stamina." Billions of women around the globe train for and play sports, and saying that they are not athletes is just plain sexist. |
