      I’m not talking about that, my whataboutistic friend, I’m talking about this specific episode that’s being used as a media case to rage-bait people.

        Then we should set testosterone limits for male competitors too if it’s always unfair. Or is it only okay when we police women’s bodies?

          It’s always going to be unfair when the game is going to be “how strong am I?” because it will always boil down to genetics. If your body is more suited than mine to shoot punches you are going to win, regardless of sex, gender, ethnicity or age: basically the Olympics are a “Biggest Pumpkin Competition” but with a better advertising campaign.

          So all of this rhetoric of “should we test athletes for testosterone” is fucking dumb on both sides.
          Give them fucking chainsaws and let them massacre each other for my entertainment.

        Sports where physical strenght and constitution are more important than technique will always be dominated by people with a better genetic pool.

        You’re literally talking about whole sports in your first sentence, nothing specific about that…

          Yeah I’m sorry, sometimes in sake of brevity you skip some premises thinking an average minded person would be able to put it together on their own

            I don’t know why you’re jumping to insults when trying to have a discussion about this, as that’s what Lemmy is for surely, discussions??

            Why are you making it about solely her genetics saying that she’ll win based on these alone? They’ve been the same when she’s lost several matches as I was pointing out…

            You’re doing her a massive disservice by dismissing the amount of hours, effort, blood, sweat and tears she’s likely dedicated to training, and being rude to this “average minded person” for pointing that out.

            You do you though

              So you are able to understand the specific content of a generic comment!
              Good for you pal! Now go and read my first comment once again because I can tell that you still didn’t understand the point I was trying to make back then.

                The arrogance shown to assume I don’t understand because I disagree with you haaa!
