		<description>Aaron---

She&#039;s laughing because they know theyre sexist. You dont need to spend all of your time explaining it to them!!  They LIKE it when girls get their way and boys get nothing!!

Snerdy ---
Why did you attach Aaron for saying discrimination is deserved when the whole discussions was them saying girls deserve to be treated better than boys???  He was the one from the beginning saying discrimination wasn&#039;t right!!  Why didn&#039;t you call them out for that if you really read all of that?</description>

		<description>I just want to be clear, discrimination isn&#039;t right.  I would not operate under stereotypes or remove rights because of an individual&#039;s gender as these women do.

These women can&#039;t expect to hide behind equal rights when they spend all this time advocating for discrimination.  They deserve to be treated as they treat others - and yes for that segment of the population that would include discrimination.

Now, for people - especially the girls and their mothers- who believe in equal rights, then discrimination is wholly undeserved and amoral.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m for equal rights first and foremost.  I want girls to have the same rights and support to play sports, but (and this is where I have a problem with the feminists) not carte blanch to control the rules in athletics and education. I&#039;m actually pro women&#039;s sports.  I just find it hard to believe they complain about when they play (MI, NY, NV) or that they their concession stands aren&#039;t as good as the ones the boys built for themselves - when many boys aren&#039;t even allowed to play sports.

As for the being deserved, it&#039;s because they set up the rules making it acceptable to discriminate.   They can&#039;t claim it&#039;s ok to discriminate against the boys but then whine it happens to their daughters.  What&#039;s good for the gander is good for the goose, no?

The fact is, she keeps writing how bad discrimination is and that we shouldn&#039;t stereotype, but then turns around and gives reasons as to why it&#039;s acceptable to do both.

All I&#039;m doing is pointing out the facts and the hypocrisy of her sexism</description>

		<description>@ Aaron

I was reading this interesting story, then reading the comments.  I am confused by ALL of your rambling comments.
Just type if you&#039;re pro-women&#039;s sports, pro-co-ed sports, or are you anti-women&#039;s &amp; co-ed sports?


&quot;Tell your daughters to suck it up whenever anyone treats the differently because they are girls. I’m not saying it’s right, I’m saying it’s deserved.&quot;

 * No discrimination is &quot;DESERVED&quot;, Aaron. *

&quot;Lay-off the drugs&quot; ...ffs?</description>

		<description>Lay off the drugs, it would help so much

Well, maybe not - you seem to lack any higher level thinking processes as it is - so have fun with it</description>

		<description>Just another point, boys don&#039;t like playing down, but they&#039;d rather play down than not at all.

Think about it, is a boy playing down any worse than a girl wrestling a boy when the boy doesn&#039;t want to? In fact, I&#039;d say that sexual harassment is worse than just being beat by a boy (even as by your logic - a senior girl gets the crap beat out of her by a seventh grade boy because boys are SOO much better than any girls)</description>

		<description>Let&#039;s be realistic, it&#039;s a lot of excuses to explain your sexism

Oh, then we can mock Kacy for playing against the middle school boys? Biologically speaking, girls are bigger than boys from 6th grade until 8th grade and then equal size freshman year.

But wait, boys aren&#039;t allowed to play on girls teams even when they&#039;re smaller.  A SEVENTH grade boy is playing up when he plays seventh grade girls. On top of that, he isn&#039;t even allowed to play varsity girls sports.  That would be playing up, would it not?

And, can&#039;t play with the guys? What about sports that there are no boys teams for? Things like field hockey, crew, etc.  In Missouri, girls&#039; lacrosse is sanctioned, but boys aren&#039;t allowed to be because of discrimination.  It&#039;s not a matter of not being able to play with the guys, it&#039;s that the discrimination you push won&#039;t let guys play.

And I wonder if you would&#039;ve told those first girls to play sports to be realistic, they&#039;d be ridiculed?  Granted, not all of those girls were made ridiculed, but that was the reality in many situations. Giving boys the opportunity to play AT ALL is a great thing

But that would mean giving boys and girls equal opportunity

Dang, sorry - you&#039;re a woman, let&#039;s be realistic you&#039;re just selfish and can&#039;t understand math terms like equality.. well or science, or logic for that matter

(Hey, if you get to play the stereotype and discrimination game, shouldn&#039;t I start also? I&#039;d  like to say it&#039;s fun, but really I feel completely ignorant. I don&#039;t know how you do it.)</description>

		<description>The boy is rediculed because he can&#039;t play with the guys. Let&#039;s be realistic.

Girls playing with guys = PLAYING UP

Boys playing with girls = PLAYING DOWN

Granted, that&#039;s not always the case, but that&#039;s the reality of many situations. Giving girls the opportunity to play &quot;up&quot; is a great thing.</description>
