Now to the next issue that is bound to appear in this thread. "Are you ever aroused when grappling a girl?" -- the short answer is no. The long answer is that you should have a medal if your able to get a woody during training and that all the sex issue etc goes out the window when your about to get choked out or whatever.
WOW! I got trolled.
The trolling must be so good you missed all the other posters making this point.
I like how when one disagrees with those on the left, they get called various names: Homophobic, Racist, Sexist or misogynist.
The young boy made a decision, which is more than most of the public schooled illiterates his age are capable of.
The young girl looked odd in her outfit, and it seems because of the society we live in now, she has her gender roles confused. I am proud of the young boy, that he could make a very difficult decision despite the blow back he was is going to receive from the usual suspects.
Why not have gender neutral bathrooms and showers ? Is there a reason why we don't ? Why do not woman fight in combat ? Why is it that Woman don't have to sign up for the draft ? Why is it that most health clubs have separate weight rooms for woman, in-case they feel a need to use them ?
There was a law suit in Boston a few years back . A man sued an all womans health club because they excluded men. He lost the case. Sounds sexist to me.

Let's not make this a left/right discussion- that's not gonna help. It's not like the right isn't notorious for namecalling with people they disagree with.

It's hilarious how "politically correct" is utterly meaningless in this thread. PC is supposed to be about linguistic activism, tolerance for other beliefs (to an extreme), etc. People making fun of the kid who took the DQ are not being PC, almost by definition. "Ha ha, dumb homeschooled Jesus nut with his erection!" isn't a PC attitude; it's an anti-PC attitude.
But then again, it's not like anyone who uses "PC" regularly actually means it as anything other than "Stuff I dislike, waaah waaah."

The overwhelming majority of bathrooms and showers are gender neutral. They're located in private homes. Moron.
Why do not woman fight in combat ?
Women do fight in combat. Moron.
Why is it that Woman don't have to sign up for the draft ?
In the US? Sexism.
Why is it that most health clubs have separate weight rooms for woman, in-case they feel a need to use them ?
Proof? My gym—a chain with over 400 locations—has unisex weight rooms.

Gold's gym has ladies preferred weight rooms. Idk if men are not allowed or if it's just frowned upon for them to work out there though. For what it's worth, it seems more like a marketing ploy than an act of sexism to have designated workout rooms.

Do you actually know what the word "most" means? It means that 50%+1 of health clubs have segregated weight rooms.
DO fifty percent plus one (at least) of all health clubs have segregated weight rooms? Pointing to a chain of, uh, ten whole locations it seems from that website, doesn't demonstrate that most health clubs have gender-segregated weight rooms.

Men are not barred from women's preferred areas in Gold's, at least not in the US. Of course, some of them are attached to the women's locker room, which can make access tricky, but men are not barred. Further, I'm still looking for a citation that most health clubs have separate weight rooms for women.
Not some clubs that cater to women, most.

Good you should be insulted now stop and think.
You are not buying his excuse and assume its a co-op because the family are sexist?
By all means show me any proof of him or his family having misogynistic tendencies.
Accusing someone without any proof would be idiotic wouldn't it. Especially in a country where one is innocent until proven guilty.
No, I don't believe the religion excuse because there is nothing in the Bible that says that you sholdn't participate in a sport just because someone is of the opposite sex. I don't buy it. I think it makes more since that it is some type of chauvinism. Yeah, I could be dead wrong. If so, I'll admit it, thought I don't really know how anyone will prove it.
I think the girl in this story was the one with the real professionalism and the one who acted with the most honor.

Sure ok, there is no Elephant in the room. I will comply with your wishes.
No Woman do not fight in Combat. There are some pilots but no ground troops. What Unit did you serve in ? Nice how you avoided my bathroom question. There are all Woman gyms and if you attempt to join them, you will be denied. In addition most large health clubs in most major cities have a little section set aside for Woman who choose not to use the Unisex area. If you deny this, then your just following a politically correct script.
Give me the name of your gym, I will call them and ask if they can provide an area where woman feel safe. I guarantee they will comply.

There wasn't until you tried to drag it into the room.

No Woman do not fight in Combat.I'll make sure to tell the woman I work with she hasn't seen combat.
There are some pilots but no ground troops.I'll make sure to tell the two women captured, that were all over the news, that they weren't on the ground.
Nice how you avoided my bathroom question. There are all Woman gyms and if you attempt to join them, you will be denied.I have already found a few articles where this is not the truth. So, it is area specific.
In addition most large health clubs in most major cities have a little section set aside for Woman who choose not to use the Unisex area. If you deny this, then your just following a politically correct script. You do realize this doesn't support your point.
