Mujeres y hombres compitiendo juntos
Leo en sportsscientists un artículo interesante sobre un tema que plantean algunos sectores extremistas: que los hombres y las mujeres compitan juntos.
"We have argued that it (gender categories in sport) should be abolished. Women and men should compete against one another on equal terms on sports arenas. The reasons for giving up sexual discrimination within sports, and for allowing individuals of both sexes to compete with each other is simple. In sports it is crucial that the best person wins. The sexual differences are simply irrelevant. If a female athlete can perform better than a male athlete, this female athlete should be allowed to compete with, and beat, the male athlete. If she cannot beat a certain male athlete, so be it. If the competition was fair, she should be able to face the fact that he was more talented. It is really as simple as that. Sexual discrimination within sports does not have any better rationale than sexual discrimination in any other fields of our lives"
¿Qué pensáis? Yo opino que igual que el que escribe el artículo. Ninguna mujer hace una marca entre las 500 mejores de los hombres a nivel mundial cada año. La diferencia es muy grande en todas las pruebas y creo que al final acabaría perjudicando al sector femenino, que no acudiría a ningún Mundial u Olimpiadas.
Por cierto, este tema de que compitan juntos ha surgido por no saber dónde meter a Semenya una vez salgan sus resultados.
