From First Things: The Greatest Moment in Women’s Sports That You Never Heard About
So will male professional bowlers step up to the challenge? Or will they just drop out of competing?
Kelly Kulick becomes first woman to win PBA Tour title - ESPN
Women's rights finds a kingpin in Kelly Kulick, first woman to capture a PBA title
"As she was rolling her final ball, Kulick actually spoke into an attached mic, telling the world this was a landmark victory for women in sports."
Does Ms. Kulick know what an outlier is? She used to work in her father's auto body shop? A daughter who became a tomboy because her father wanted a son? What of her "love life"? Has she been as successful in that?
What will MRA bloggers write in response to this? I think professional sports in general should be abolished -- how can wasting that much money be justified in an world with social injustice? Amateurs can compete for prizes, but should men permit a woman to compete against them? Those who support her will cry that males with fragile egos should not play the game if they are being sore losers. But is a society that permits women to show men up misandrist? I have no doubt that she could beat me in bowling. But does her ability justify the feminist agenda? No. (See the comments of Billy Jean King.)
Only men can police the bad behavior of other men. Even if a single woman can beat other men in a sport that depends less on the physical attributes that characterize male superiority, this does not mean that most women can. (How heavy is Ms. Kulick's ball? Probably lighter than males of comparable size.) And it does not entail anything with respect to the functioning of the polity.
That a blogger at First Things would celebrate this shows how infected its staff is with radical egalitarianism?
