Proposal to explicitly ban sexism from the game room

[Max_S]

@Velocity

I think we’re mostly in broad agreement that sexist talk (i.e., “she should get into the kitchen and make me a sandwich”) is off-limits and reality-based or opinion-based talk ("the WNBA is less popular so it’s right that their players should be paid less than the NBA’s) isn’t.

I guess the relevant question for ATMB is whether debate on the merits of either proposition are appropriate for the game room.

ETA: You may remember this topic,

Men competing against women in the olympics

There has been some discussion about transgendered people competing in women’s classes, but I don’t want to discuss that. What I am wondering is a hypothetical about how much of an advantage men have over women in the olympic events. If a man for some reason was allowed to enter the women’s class of every olympic event, how many gold medals could he win? Also, who would be the ideal athlete for this? Someone like Usain Bolt maybe?

was originally posted in some forum other than the game room. Having read through it I don’t see any sexism.
