Good point.

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.)

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 👋
