Why do we have women only competitions anyway?
Perhaps all sports should be open to all entrants irrespective of gender. I realise those with a Y chromosome would pretty much win everything, but isn't that equality?
Oh, and the same should hold true for the paralympics natch.

I think we should just put everyone into appropriate categories.
E.g. we should test how fast our sprinters are, then make sure only people who can run exactly as fast as each other are allowed to compete against each other.
Maybe this is the human race's opportunity to examine the whole concept of competitive sports and conclude they're much less important, sensible or interesting than we had previously realised.

competition has value in itself
though categories give it meaning

Can you imagine mixed gender Rugby? Even if players were categorised by weight/height/speed...it would be carnage.
