Re: Men and Women Training Together

OK, Mike, now it's clear. Your first post was not a misstatement and you did not understand my objection to your response. You are conflating sex discrimination and performance-based training goals in a way that you can't really account for. You are saying that you want to be able to act in accordance with your prejudices and boldly state them in public with complete impunity... without even having to hear a sentence or two of criticism. This seems silly to me, given that your prejudice in this case is clearly unpopular. That's not the way freedom or free speech works. Besides, I don't see how such senstitivity to a few lines of criticism squares with being a hard-training tough guy who sees no other purpose to training besides better fighting. Why not just take it like a man, so to speak?
