Martina Navratilova's no conservative. But she acknowledges the truth on this one. She was the number one women's tennis player for most of the 80s. 9 Wimbledon singles wins. She knows that number would be zero if this were a thing in her day. She trained by playing her male coach, ranked around 500th in the world. She never took a set from him.

Other than for social fun and fitness, women's sports is a nonsense concept anyway.

If there's going to be a separate grouping for women then a separate grouping for *small Asian women* and *large black men* etc. is equally valid.

It's not a meritocracy when membership is limited.

Professional sports is all part of the bread and circuses, and I get that some people are into having their brains and time taken up with that.
