There is an elitist group of men and women who believe the sport of boxing, weight lifting and other so called male sports should remain all male. As a species humans are the only ones that apparently do not recognize the strength and ability of the females of the species.This viewpoint is as ludicrous as the more popular racial stereotypes. In contrast while being the so called weaker sex, there are animals whose entire society is matriarchal with adult males being allowed in when mating is required.  Of course there are activities that are more masculine but there are activities that are unisexual and defy any specific gender identity. Human beings have the advantage of superior intellect but fall short in the area of  broad thinking on gender roles. We tend to fall short in judgment of other people, religions, ethnicities and skin tone.. This is apparent in marriages, dating behavior,  friendships and in families.  Think about the women in the so called “mens sports”, they have to prove themselves as able to perform  as women  instead of being seen as just athletes who are and could be the best in their sport. Do we allow this thinking to deprive us of some our best and brightest while  losing their skills and ability?
