Default Women's Worlds

In modern social context (which recognizes gender equality and gender fluidity), having "woman"-only contests sure seems like an anachronistic continuation of a sexist notion, regardless of justification.

The fact that this particular person "kicks ass...all the time" kinda proves the point, no?


Exactly my point.

It is not my intent to spam this thread though. But since you replied and seem to feel the same way as I do, then....

Maybe the WC format could be changed, and each country entering would need a man and woman for each category of competition? Just an initial thought. Maybe this would be difficult to implement, and not worth any problems it creates.

Anyway, back to the original theme, Go USA, continue to fly safely and quickly.
Best of luck and safe flights to all the teams in those extreme conditions.

Respectfully,

Chris
