    So what? Are you some kind 60s backlash Nixonian conservative worrying about long hair on men and trying to say they are being feminine?

    I'm more of a fashionista. And on some men it does look very feminine unless one is an older hippie or a pirate. I love watching Say Yes To The Dress. I even support the right of men to wear skirts if they want.

    It's just my opinion, and there are always exceptions.

    Why would I do that? I don't need to seek the approval of football players to express a personal, subjective opinion. They can dress up like Legolas as far as I'm concerned.

    You might also notice that I specifically mentioned that I thought it looked feminine on some men. And I never mentioned anything about long hair. I said "ponytails".

    Somebody certainly seems mighty sensitive today.

    Thats fine but if you told them that and you weren't a woman they would probably kick your ***.

    And I specifically referenced "ponytails" by the word "them".

    Nope, just being my normal picky self.

    But back to the subject of the thread, should women be allowed on mens teams if men are not allowed on womens teams?

    That wouldn't be the first time a professional athlete beat up a woman, would it?

    And doing so wouldn't make them right or a real masculine, big man except maybe in their own minds and the minds those who share their thoughts along that line.

    I said "if you weren't a woman" they might do that.

    Why shouldn't they be angry at being insulted like that?

    You misunderstand me.

    I was never beaten by a girl. And probably never will be.

    Congrats to you for beating some girly boys. That must have been quite a milestone for you.

Unfortunately, misogyny still rules our society and girls are excluded for no other reason than to protect the less competitive boys. What a shame.
    That's seriously adorable.

    Boys (men) don't get knocked up.

    Boys (men) don't bleed out of their primary sexual organ with alarming regularity.

    And thus, gay marriage should not be legal?

    Turnabout is fair play, I guess.

    But still, men and women are clearly different.

    Thus, the union of a man and a woman is obviously something very different that the union between a man and a man.

    Or a woman and a woman.
