that is going on in my house between 2 teenagers (19)
My DD and her boyfriend are discussing (loudly) discrimination in sports.
Her argument is that if a woman is good enough to complete alongside men then she should be allowed to and not be discriminated against because of her gender.
His argument is there are seperate men and women teams because the men would have an unfair advantage, so in order for women to have a chance of winning they must compete against their own sex. This cannot be classed as discrimination because the men aren't being mean about it.
AIBU to ask the MN jury for their judgment and then I can bash either/both around the head with it and put a stop to the argument before something decent comes on the telly.
(by the way I support DD, especially when the 'its not discrimination because they are not being mean' argument raised its head)
