| The 'Equality' blues: Feminists cry foul when boys' netball team wins girls' tournament |
| 2021-10-21 |
| [AMERICANTHINKER] The Queensland Suns won the Nissan State under-18 netball tournament last month, and the wrath of many, by easily defeating seven other teams. The issue? The Suns are sons — not daughters like the rest of their competitors.Netball is a variation on basketball played in many Commonwealth countries. The game also apparently doesn't have many male competitors in Australia, which is why the Suns were allowed to compete with the lasses. As Netball Queensland, the organization running the Nissan tournament, stated, it was choosing "inclusion over exclusion." For a little background, this is an example of the chickens coming home to roost for the feminist clucking hens. We've long had a Title IX—based standard in the United States dictating "that members of the underrepresented gender ['sex' is the proper word, do note] be permitted to play on teams provided for the overrepresented gender or that separate teams in that sport be created for underrepresented gender," as the Women's Sports Foundation puts it. From a practical standpoint, this initially meant that girls would be trying out for boys' teams, not vice versa, as decades ago there were few if any athletic endeavors in which females were numerically dominant and male opportunity was lacking. But this has changed, and feminists have soured on "equality" now that it less often means "special advantage." Australia apparently also has a Title IX-like standard, hence the Suns' crushing of the daughters. Yet this thrashing inspired not only condemnation and vulgar comments directed at the boys from some parents during the final game (shameful), but also some caterwauling from a women's sports advocate, seen in the video below. |

| #7 Come on, man! There is no difference between men and women. Except when there is. And you have to be a special sort of moron not to notice. Would it be rude to mention the US National Women's soccer team losing to a bunch of 15 year old boys in a scrimmage at some country day school? |

| #5 Don't get me wrong, confident and athletic women are totally sexy, and sports does that, as well as being fun and stress relieving. Its just...that. |

| #4 inspired not only condemnation and vulgar comments directed at the boys from some parents during the final game (shameful) Perhaps, but my peers at that age would have been laugh smirking the whole time. But that was back when the catcher could talk shit and hopefully you didn't get a snicker from the ump. Back in the day, the town had a really good softball team; so good, they were basically unchallenged in the league. Coach wanted to give them a test, so they challenged us boys to a softball scrimmage. Obviously, none of us boys had ever played softball. Called the game after a couple innings - they hardly got on base and we hardly got out. I mean, legging out slappers to second bad. |

| #3 That any of the parents should shout at the boys is the height of arrogance. Probably none of these boys are old enough to have every vote in their lives. They are simply playing under the rules and laws the the parents and their elected politicians made. |

| #1 It's about power for women at the expense of men. That's all. They will be quite open about it. Hurt men, help women. I don't know who was in charge of this, but it wasn't a feminist. |
