Quoted from smassa:Agree with everything you said. I just wonder that the reaction would be if someone were to hold a male only pinball tourney
False equivalency.
Look, I believe men and women are equal...hell, I'd go so far to say women are superior - however, you have to take into account that the daily experience of being a woman is so incredibly different than what we as men go through every day. Constantly stared at, catcalled, preyed upon, victims of violence or living with fear of becoming a victim of violence. These are things I've never felt as a man...but it happens every day to women. So, guys - don't be so defensive about things like women's leagues...have some empathy. Imagine what it's like to live a day as a woman, you'd understand why women's leagues are a great thing and has nothing to do with segregation or being anti-man.
This article is an example of what women go through every day:
