Kathy Gyngell: Spare us the PC drive to plaster feeble women’s sport all over TV

Spot on. My favourite sentence in the piece, drawing on a Les Dawson mother-in-law joke:

Who really wants to watch a woman who looks like she could kickstart a jumbo jet, but actually neither has the power nor the strength of a man?

  1. Sport rewards speed, strength, stamina, skill, experience, thus disadvantaging and discriminating against the slow, the weak and those who for reasons blah blah blah have undertaken the necessary training and practice. Even the application of quotas would do nothing to remove the problem of exalting ‘winners’ over ‘losers’. Sport is therefore not feminist in nature. Besides, who wants to sit demurely in Wembley Stadium as one non-competitive team runs out onto the turf to the sound of deafening jazz hands?

  2. tough and rough competition is non feminine in essence. It is masculine in every sense of the word.
    How idiotic when feminist spin doctors try to portray women as super competitive and tough in both the physical,as well as mental sense. Neither one holds water,especially the first one.
