To be genuinely honest I think that view is entirely fair, I am an fashioned liberal I have no difficulty with opinions not aligned with my own. As I said at the start, IF those supporting the women’s game want parity with the men’s game the most effective route would be the creation of mixed...

I see, so in your assessment despite women in the police and armed forces (since 2016), being trained to confront and/or confronting violent men, these dangers would be eclipsed in the sporting world should it create mixed gender sports? I think professional sports women, like their peers in...

Where am I being selective? All sports, including Team sports………team sports need quotas for women to break the long standing patriarchal structures.

Why are you referencing women serving in the RA, cut to the chase and reference women in the front line, in infantry units. Literally in the front line in roles required to close with the enemy, with hand to hand combat a genuine reality. In short that means women fighting with men perhaps to...

Maybe you need some help. Once you have put your pearls down I suggest you write to your local MP with respect to women in the armed forces, police, fire service etc. In the armed forces and police context they ARE competing with men in the most visceral contact sport there is, I.e...

I agree you can’t compare the physical and mental demands of a full time copper or front line infantry soldier with that of a professional footballer. One group puts their lives literally on the line, the other runs about a few times a week and shops for Gucci. Keeping professional footballers...

You can spell out your point as many times as you want, once a woman has passed the test to undertake a front line role, then she is undertaking a front line role. She will not be treated any differently from her male comrades, she will do exactly what the men are expected to do and she will be...

I am struggling to understand your point, if the MOD, after years of analysis, have concluded that women can operate in front line roles, including Marines and special forces, then those women that pass the required tests will operate in equal terms with their male comrades. There are no half...

If the MoD and its peer counterparts in NATO etc. have concluded after years of research that women trained as infantry are as capable as males (physically and mentally) then that’s good enough for me. On the face of it I accept your points, however allowing women to compete in male sport would...

If the “way of the world” was consistent we would not have gender apartheid in sports and this half baked indulgence of women’s sport. There is clear evidence that women are as physically capable as men………...
