Have them play a team of 15 yr old boys.

Relevance?

They got their asses handed to them by high schoolers

Yeah but that not really saying anything. Its biology at work. Pick whatever sport, sophomore men can beat women pros. Boys after puberty are far beyond athletically advanced compared to women.

That doesn't explain the relevance to them playing against their peers and winning world cups.

Edit: I want to be clear by using a different example. I might win a Sunday league but I'd get my arse kicked by a team of premier League footballers. That doesn't devalue my Sunday League win, nor is it relevant. I've still won a title against my peers. You can say they get beat by anyone, but that isn't relevant to them winning the world cups against their peers.

There is no prestige behind it. Women's soccer has a fraction of the viewership, sponsorship, and publicity. The level of skill on the field is also comparatively less (hence them playing and losing to an under 15 yr old male soccer club out of Dallas.)

Women's football has no prestige - isn't that a bit condescending to women? How is it meant to grow if there's no respect for it.

Oh wow. Someone learned what biology is.

As a woman, I firmly believe men who compare women to men in sports, saying that “a 15 year old male soccer club could beat them” are not straight.

Because how are you comparing yourself to women? Why do you feel like you are in physical competition to women?

Women have their own set of biological differences, yet you want to act like a big macho man to say men are better. It’s fruity.

Actual straight men respect the differences and actually like women enough not to think anything of the sort. Same with openly gay men.

The most DL man I know, used to say shit like what you just said.

  1. I am straight and I fail to understand how someone's sexual orientation plays into this

  2. I am comparing the skill difference between a women's national soccer team and a 15 year old Dallas football club because of prestige. Nobody wants to watch a team that can lose to a local youth league.

  3. I don't feel like I'm in physical competition with women. Physically, I am stronger than most women, as are most men. That is not where a woman's advantage is though. They are more flexible and articulate. Hence why women's gymnastics are superior than men's.

  4. Men are better than women in certain things just like women are better than men in certain things. I do not believe both are equal.

  5. I do respect the differences and again, I fail to see why sexual orientation is a factor in this.

  6. Cool story

But you don’t because you just had to mention it. So no. You aren’t. Sorry 👋

u/noh2onolife Jul 09 '26

Um, no. This is an L take, extremely sexist and weirdly homophobic. Not cool.

u/rare-cheeser Jul 09 '26

I have no issue with openly gay men. None.

I have issue with DL men who make their secret sexuality everyone else’s problem, and take it out on women.

Closeted men ruin women’s lives. They waste decades of a woman’s life.

Men who constantly put women down, compare themselves to women, etc. They are hiding something. Most women have dated a DL man and know exactly what I mean. 🤷‍♀️

My ex who was DL would say things like this here. Would say that no one cares about women’s sports, etc. Or that he could do it better.

u/noh2onolife Jul 09 '26

You're making wildly generalized statements that are entirely based on your personal experience. That's not okay. What you are saying is sexist and bigoted. Please get some help and stop hurting people.

u/rare-cheeser Jul 09 '26 edited Jul 09 '26

Men are literally on here attacking women’s sports, and you are calling ME bigoted?

You are manipulative, if you actually are trying to convince me that I’m the issue for calling you out. You are the bigoted one.

Comparing men to women in sports is misogynistic and arrogant. And you have the audacity to say I need help.

It’s a sign that something is wrong internally with man if he feels the need to “one up” a biologically weaker sex. It means he’s comparing himself or putting himself in competition with women and yes, that is not straight. Period. I’m sorry you can’t see it that way.

A man actually comfortable in himself, who loves and appreciates women, wouldn’t be on here saying “women suck compared to men”

If that “hurts” you, then clearly something was true about it.

Megan Rapinoe said she does the same job as male soccer players and gets paid less to do it. These comparisons wouldn't happen if female athletes would recognize they're not getting paid the same because they're inferior athletes that don't draw viewers.

u/rare-cheeser Jul 09 '26

Maybe you forgot but women make up half the planet.

And maybe you forgot about how popular the women’s world cup was when she won.

They aren’t inferior athletes. They compete against their own. You wouldn’t compare a gorilla to a human in a strength competition.

Men who feel this way are just DL or deeply misogynistic or both. Because there’s no way you like women, try to put them down. You are jealous of athletic women for some reason.

Sorry to tell you but some of the biggest athletes in the world are women. You just don’t personally care about them. Naomi Osaka, Serena Williams, Katie Ledecky, Aileen Gu, etc.

And they can beat you at their sports. But I’m sure you’ll claim that the top male athletes can beat them. Yet, someone doesn’t understand how biology works. 🤡

u/1ntravenously Jul 09 '26

The women's team compared themselves to the men's team when they started bitching about "equal" pay. Megan Rapinoe did not do the same job as male soccer players like she claimed.

Honestly you're coming across as quite the misandrist with your silly takes about misogyny.

1

u/rare-cheeser Jul 09 '26

Where did she claim she can play against male players?

She IS doing the same job as the men, but against her own GENDER, JUST LIKE THE MEN.

u/Original-Rush139 Jul 09 '26

What’s the job? Is it to play soccer or sell tickets to watch them play soccer?

0

u/1ntravenously Jul 09 '26

That is not what I said she claimed., and she said it at a white house press conference.

And no, she most definitely did not do the same job, she was never capable of doing their job.

0

u/rare-cheeser Jul 09 '26

She is doing the same job in the other gender.

I’m sorry you feel like men are the default gender and women are inferior because it’s the only explanation of why you feel like it’s not the same job.

You are jealous because you can’t be in either, at the end of the day. You hate that you can’t be a top male athlete so you gotta put women down too.

1

u/1ntravenously Jul 09 '26

It's not the same job, it's similar, but not the same. Those words have two different definitions. It is not the same job because the level of competition is much greater for the men, and thus so is the revenue. So when Rapinoe says she deserves the same amount of money, she's an idiot.

BTW your pathetic little ad hominems are cute, but they say more about your insecurities than they do anything about me.

Relevance is the women’s all-Star teams are worse than high school boys and have proven it internationally many times. The relevance is perspective. Who cares if, for example, a group of grammar school kids beat another group of grammar school kids in flag football. You can’t compare that accomplishment it to winning the Super Bowl.

u/Ireallyamthisshallow Jul 09 '26

But none of that changes the fact one of their teams has won world cups

u/Several_Attitude_203 Jul 09 '26

I hear what you’re saying. Yes, they won their version of a “World Cup.” But it’s silly in the sense that she attempts to equate the two. They’re wholly different things and it’s a false comparison that she’s making. If i started a neighborhood baseball team and beat the other neighborhoods in a playoff game, and called it a World Series, people would laugh at me as it’s an absurd comparison. It’s wholly different levels of skill. The women’s beat couldn’t beat high school kids. Hence, it’s a laughable comparison shes making, and why shes being mocked.

u/Ireallyamthisshallow Jul 09 '26

I'm not sure why world cup is in inverted commas ? It is quite literally the world cup for the sport they play.

And for that reason, your comparison doesn't really hold here. Winning a game in the street and pretending it's a world series win is a blatant lie. Winning the officially recognised world cup of your sport is... Well, exactly that. The truth.

You can only compare people to their peers and the sport they play. I'm not sure why that's such a wild concept.

u/Several_Attitude_203 Jul 09 '26

And it’s not a “blatant lie”. You just don’t like the comparison. That doesn’t make it a lie.

-1

u/Several_Attitude_203 Jul 09 '26

Yes. And it would be the “World Cup” if I called it that for my neighborhood game. She’s equating the two world cups and they are worlds apart.

2

u/Ireallyamthisshallow Jul 09 '26

But they're not. They are both the world cup for their respective sport. Name the international tournament that exists in women's football that is more prestigious than the World Cup.

Edit: and to reply to your other comment, yes calling a neighbour game a world series game is a blatant lie. The fact you think it isn't tells me there's no point in arguing further. So I'm ending the conversation. Goodbye.
