It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

integration of sports was a mainstream feminist position back when that label actually meant something. now that we've just collectively accepted that women can never be equal to men, the only solution is individual striving and a narrow politics of representation.
one combined league, everyone plays everyone instead of men playing men and women playing women
Im sure in a better world there are ways to do this other than segregation or that, weight classes etc
you could do weight classes by lean body mass for some things. running events should probably have had height-classes (or you know, leg length) the entire time although i'm not sure anyone has ever normalized track or marathon times for runner height. All top atheletes are genetic freaks and not normal anyway regardless of gender.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Yeah I don't really see how this would play out in sports like Athletics or wrestling, even with weight classes. People thinking a mixed rugby team wouldn't result in severe injuries and possible deaths for the female athletes are kidding themselves.
