Document Summary
Argues to get rid of the gender segregation. Distinguishing between genders in sport is a form of gender discrimination. Sexual discrimination is not tolerated in other areas so why should be accepted in sports? is not acceptable just as it is not acceptable in other areas. Discrimination is just segregating individuals and excluding some based on. T nnsj (cid:495)s thesis states that gender discrimination (cid:523)distinguishing(cid:524) in sports. Segregation does not always have a negative connotation gender or other areas. Attempts to argue that sexual discrimination is unacceptable. Uses arguments for sexual separation to show how these arguments are weak: sexual discrimination in sports is no different than the use of different weight classes. Weight classes are used for fairness, more equal playing field, safety of athlete, physiological differences, potential harms: if women defeat men it causes a violent/aggressive response from the defeated male.
