I was thinking about men in women's sports. I think we on the Right should embrace it; it's going to show what we've long needed to show, that men are in fact different from women and that there is an inherent advantage to being a man in sports.

The feminist movement was built on a lie. That lie was that women are no different from men and that in fact they are better because they are more communal. That should mean women's sporting teams work better than male sporting teams because they can cooperate more; there is less ball hogging or whatnot. And everyone remembers the set-up of Bobby Riggs and Billie Jean King where the aging Riggs (who it was later found had thrown the match to cover his gambling debts to the Mafia) lost to the young King. That was explosive and "proved" women were just as good at sports as men.

That has been the lie that has dominated our discussions about women in sports ever since.

I would add that the WNBA has spent years trying to be taken seriously with little success until recently and that for a reason. In boxing there are all sorts of weight classes - and nobody pays any attention to the lower ones. A Flyweight championship fight will be on the undercard of a Middleweight contender fight. Why? Because nobody cares about the flyweights; they simply aren't as good. Oh, pound for pound they might be, but you put a flyweight in with a Welterweight and the fight will be over by round two, probably, unless the flyweight runs like a thief. At best he survives by not fighting and loses every round on points.

People know that and aren't interested. They want to see the real killers, not the kids swatting at each-other.

So the WNBA has always had a respect problem. But they have been having some success of late, largely because they brought in some talented young gals (and the fact they are pretty plays no small part in it). Yet here we are with them ready to throw it all away with their willingness to accept "transgendered" men into their fold.

Go woke go broke.

So in a way we should welcome this; the men are going to completely dominate the league and show everyone that men are superior to women in terms of athletics. It's a bitter lesson but one long overdue. It should have happened when Billie Jean King played Bobby Riggs.

Until our society starts facing reality and quits pretending we can change reality by believing in lies we will continue to decline as a civilization. Civilizations must be based on Truths. Yes, there are myths, but myths often illustrate a moral truth we wish to convey. What we are doing now is creating myths that impact our everyday lives, and those myths are horribly destructive. Playing the gender-game is one of those. It promotes a series of lies that are being turned into actual policy.

BTW a boys soccer team (under 15 years of age) in a game not long ago. So the best women in America couldn't beat the second string of a teenage boys team.
