White girls shouldn't have to compete against black girls for scholarships. It's not fair. <- the same person, born 50 years earlier

Harder to motivate people to join the military if you can’t dangle the free college over their heads

They have those folks come to our school literally every week. Its so annoying to have people come and say "well YOU can choose to not kill people but only make the stuff that kill people" and people actually think about it. I understand that most people see it as 'protecting your nation' and that it's the only option to get to collage for some folks but it's still frustrating.

*minorities

Given that the political situation we're currently in is in good part thanks to poor education and reading comprehension, let's try to get literacy back on track.

Hashtag no nazis but grammar nazis

ahh I see you made the mistake in thinking I respect english, I don't.

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 3 days ago

English is a bastard language and it deserves to be known as such

yes, the girls.

Technically this supports just getting rid of womans sports and having just open leagues.

[–] socialpankakemix@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 3 days ago (1 children)

i dont know how you came to this conclusion, i would say its fairly clear that the goal of the meme is to say that you should be able to do things you want like pursuing education or sports, without bullshit barrier to entry.

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

thats what an open league is. no barrier to entry.

okay but that does not answer my question

how did you come to the conclusion that this meme supports abolishing gendered sports?

[–] BiNonBi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Can you please explain how saying education and economic advancement shouldn't be tied to athletic performance supports the abolishment of women's sports leagues?

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

it does not but open leagues would be open to all. You basically are no longer limiting competitive sports to any particular gender.

[–] BiNonBi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yes that is the definition of an open league. What does that have to do with the meme?

yeah I guess it was kramer agreeing but looking at it more I think your right. I would like open leagues though and not hooking rewards to athletics and just letting people who want to do it, do it. granted you can have brackets anyway. we already do with varsity, junior varsity, intermural.

[–] anothercatgirl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Nah, I think open leagues should still have some informal separation, like differences in uniforms and team gender themes but it shouldn't be strict. Girls' teams should allow femboys and boys' teams should allow tomboys.

[–] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

No, we should abolish all divisions and join the same team. We should all present one united front against the clock and score as many points as possible in the time limit.

Yeah but there's still differences in game rules that may be played by separate teams like yes/no contact in lacrosse and hockey, and that difference in rules results in a difference in player armor and padding and a likely difference in the proportions of which gender be attracted to one or the other variety of the same sport.

Which it's totally fine if the gender proportions are equal between the contact and non-contact varieties of a specific sport, but I predict culture may make those proportions not equal.

don't you already get that with the different teams. different schools or cities and such.
