OK I CANT ARGUE WITH YOU IN TWO PLACES

Pick one, here or DMs

I’m getting overstimulated


by Crossnerd m

I mean, let me be very plain here.Nobody here really cares about women’s sports. You’re not attending professional women’s sporting events, or watching them on tv for that matter either, or follow their professional stats. Nobody here cares about actual fairness in women’s sports- that they’re underpaid, underrepresented, underfunded. Or that they’re habitually subject to sexua

I do not care about professional women's sports.

I care very much about amateur women's sports.


I watched part of a women's college basketball game the other day (South Carolina - Texas), and could probably name 10-20 wta players and even more table tennis players. Realistically men probably care more about women's sports than women do.

a weird way of admitting that you're just a fan of transphobia, but ok

This is probably true, in terms of caring to watch as fans.

I'm of the opinion that sports is mostly for fun and socializing so my stance is that trans people playing sports really doesn't matter that much and its kind of funny how much you guys actively despise womens sports yet pretend you want to protect the sanctity of womens sports or something, like a trans person playing softball in high school is going to ruin everyone lives thr

You can not be interested in watching women you don't know play sports and also want them to be able to compete fairly and not get beat up by dudes.


I love beating up on dudes when I play sports, that’s why I played baseball


Running the catcher used to be fun until they got rid of it

Roughly 1 in 4 women in the US will experience domestic violence in their lifetime.

You will never ever convince me that concern for women’s safety is why so many men have taken up this cause. It’s a bald-faced lie and you are a liar.

That is completely ****ing insane.

Had I said I do not care about professional men's sports, but I do care about amateur men's sports, would I also be a fan of transphobia?


Women make 84c to every dollar a man earns. I don’t see men making threads about it. I don’t see them launching into wild polemics about fairness for women when it relates to hundreds of millions of them.

Listen, if men are truly so broken that they are only able to muster this level of empathy and desire for safety and fairness for women when it’s within the context of sports, that is ****ing sad.

Thankfully it’s just not true, and you don’t actually care about the human beings playing those sports, you just want a say in who is allowed to play them.


Just stop lying about why you actually care and say you have a problem with trans people with your whole chest instead of being the skirt-hugging cowards you are hiding behind women athletes.


What do you mean? The Roe v Wade thread was the hottest debate in all of 2025

What do you mean? The Roe v Wade thread was the hottest debate in all of 2025

The Roe v Wade thread and the trans thread are the same in that’s it’s a bunch of unqualified men debating something they have no business being involved in. Whether it’s women’s sports or women’s bodies, the menfolk are always entitled to have a say apparently.


I don't think there was a roe v wade thread (thats the joke)

lol. someone cooked here


by MoViN.tArGeT m

men like basketball more. men want to watch men because they are men and think they are better at sports
If women like basketball more maybe women watch more but even then me not think so because women like men too

I'm a man, but I prefer watching ladies' tennis than men's tennis. Even thought the men are "better", I find the ladies' game more exciting. More athleticism and less of a baseline to baseline game.


by MoViN.tArGeT m

WAIT YOU DON'T ACUALLY BELIEVE THIS? geezerchess why are you such a wiener to let her get away with this

Because she already said I'm wrong, but won't explain why I'm wrong. I'm fine with that, since she almost invariably gets upset in these discussions anyway, so dealing with her emotionalism isn't really worth it.


by housenuts m

what I've learned is the NFL (and other male sports) have amazing CMOs that can trick people into watching their sport, but there's no one in the world that is able to replicate that level of CMO for female sports.

Amazin', ain't it?

There is an abortion thread that doubles as my thirteenth reason. I just assumed that’s what you were referring to.

(Sorry I ruined the joke)

Using strong words does not necessarily reflect my resting emotional state while posting them. It just reflects the level of conviction I may have for whichever opinion is being discussed.

Wait no. Just kidding. I’m crying while driving.

Please name even one person in this discussion who 'actively despises women's sports?' I watch ladies' tennis, rickroll watches 100 hours a year of ladies' sports and housenuts has said he watches ladies' sports.

Please stop lying. Thanking you in advance.

p.s. How about some chess??
