SexismFreddie Woo tells us: Despite being a well rounded modern man I think women are best off getting married and having a few kids else they'll be absolutely miserable come middle age.
What views do you have that are probably sexist that you believe are true?

My guess...Is that everyone is kept separated *just because* in many sports, because that is what is done in the big physical sports like football and olympic competition, so at some point they would have to decide where the point lies where a sport stops being physical and starts being mental - does the strength of a typical man impart any benefit in a sport like shooting for example, or is shooting an entirely equal sport? How about motor racing? Or Curling? All sports that are primarily skill/mental based, but to some degree the body of the user will have some small effect in having more mass or strength to hold a rifle steady or hold a steering wheel true when barrelling round corners on a rough rally stage in a car.
I am up for opening up sports in general to women, I figure the lack of promotion or interest in any female leagues (we all know what is happening in the premier league, but who can say they have watched a womens league football match?) means only a very few would miss the lack of a dedicated female league, and I am up for seeing how females could compete in sports like football and motor racing given a level playing field.
