My God !
The Netball World Cup ?
Women's football; women's rugby; women's cricket - all represented as if they are equivalent to the real games as played by men.
What is going on ? This has nothing to do with equality but is all to do with a lunatic charge to pretend that men and women are, actually, equal, rather than being fundamentally different. Anyone who actually watches the women's attempts at these sports will immediately see that they are dumbed down versions of the real thing. Women simply cannot match the sheer physicality of men in these sports.
Women and men are different. Women and men have different interests. Women and men are suited to different pursuits. To try to pretend that whatever men do, women will do as well and in a way that is equally attractive to viewers is laughable. Women's tennis is great, but nowhere near as dramatic or powerful as the men's version. As for rugby, it is incredible that any woman would actually want to play such a masculine game; those that do play a tenderized version that is unrecognizable to any real rugby fan. Female footballers may be skilful but their game is like that of 11 year old schoolboys.
I have to admit that some bits of women's cricket that I've seen have been impressive, particularly the fielding, but the totality of the game still falls far short of the skill, ability and drama of the men's game. And yet we are presented with women's cricket, football, rugby and the rest, hyped up as if they're at least as good as the men's games.
Now it's netball, a schoolgirls' pastime, that is being shoved down our throats. Yes, perhaps there will be an audience, one composed of elderly men drooling over the nubile young women prancing around the court, and with bottoms and busts bouncing everywhere. Is that what it's really all about
What on earth is going on ?
