    Because I'm forced to, I fight for my college and they're very PC there. It's a taboo if you don't spar the girl apparently.

    It's a crime worthy of death by firing squad but I will consult my generals before taking any action

    I am all for equal rights etc but that’s effing ridiculous that you are made to.

    I remember this, Stefan Raab was a TV show host. He fought her twice too I believe. He just took a load of punishment for the appearance of being pro feminism, what a stupid thing to do. Who the hell takes a beating because it's the progressive thing to do?

    I'm for equal rights too, but there's absolutely no way I should be forced into sparring them. Problem is the girl I'm always forced to spar is the captain of our college team and is actually a handy boxer. Every time she always goes all out on me, even when I was quite new, I can see the intensity in her eyes whenever she gets in there. She likes to throw full power to the head and always complains if I hit her even near her beltline (which she knows is the only place I can throw with any sort of power with her). It does my head in. I've made up my mind that I'm actually rejecting to spar her next time I'm asked to, I don't care if I get called a sexist.

    He's an actual moron, I've seen enough of eltirado to know that not much makes sense in any of his threads.

    Or, you could just, ya know... knock her the **** out!

    In today’s society it would be the far more acceptable of the two options. The fact that my last sentence is actually true hurts my head.

    I would never do such a thing. It's cowardly and it'd also ruin my reputation in the club and probably across the whole college. It'd be the kind of thing they'd make a big fuss about and kick me out over. Would it be unfair? Yes. Would they still go ahead and do it because I've got a twig and berries and she doesn't? Also yes.

    You've never boxed or understand the discrepancy between male and female strength and boxing.

    I heard an under 17 boys team from Newcastle, which is a local region in Australia, smashed the women's national team close to 10 nil in soccer.

    https://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-05...US, who could,afford to stretch player limits.

    Now I have played mixed soccer before and been extremely surprised at how good female players are. That being said, they can't compare with similar level men.

    Saw the title, it's about politics, so I'm leaving it. I'm sick of politics at this point. I'm not arsed discussing it. I may do so once a week but that's it now.

    Why would they make a fuss and kick you out? Has there never been a knockout in your boxing club?
