excerpt from my post on the matter:
> I was in the car listening to NPR, pulling out of the parking lot of a glass supplier when my world shattered again.3 One of the NPR leftist commenters said roughly ~‘One can propose that the mens team and womens team play against each other to sort this out—’

>At which point I mentally pumped my fist in the air and cheered. I had been thinking exactly this for WEEKS. [...] I smiled and waited to see how the right-wing asshat would squirm out of having to endorse a match that we all knew would shut him up.

>The left-wing commentator continued ‘—is what one would say if one is a right-wing deplorable that just wants to laugh while humiliating those that are already oppressed. Naturally none of us would ever propose such a thing, we aren’t horrible people. Here’s what they get wrong…”

>I didn’t hear any more after that, because my world had shattered again. A proponent of my side was not only admitting that the women’s team would lose badly, but that everyone knew and had always known that the women’s team would lose badly, so the only reason one would even suggest such a thing was to humiliate them.

>Here I was, in my late 30s, still believing that men and women are basically the same, like a fucking chump.
