    Was watching the darts live on itv4 tonight and seen the russian girl beat the male player (wont embarrass him). Reminded me of when, a couple of years ago Anneka Sorrenstam played golf in the mens tour to much hype. It wasnt a competition as such, it was a freak show for ratings, we all know women cant throw lol, and men are stronger - ye ha , but this keeps comming up. Once upon a time you ladies would be happy with your bingo lol, now you women are getting into all our domains lol. I believe its time for all us men to put a halt on these women undermining our prowess and stay away from the mens side of the game - what do you all think - im off to do the ironing now i'll read the replies later if she lets me lol.

    i would be happy if they played against me cause they are rubbish at sports and should only be in the kitchen making me sandwiches.

    I vote no....

    Yes, biology shows us that men are stronger, bones/muscle wise, hence needing more calories to keep them healthy so men and women shouldn't compete against eachother....

    However shush with your sexist comments lol! It doesn't mean there shouldn't be a womens league to every sport....

    Some things should remain a male preserve, but because of the equality laws they are allowed out the kitchen for far too long lol.

    Women should keep to their own version of sports and mixed competition is a mis-match, apart from sports that use external help eg, Show jumping, then the horse does the work really.

    Equality blows, try joining the WRVS if your male, it's not allowed lol.

    There was a guy called Bobby Riggs with the same attitude to sport and took on Billie Jean King at tennis, the rest is history.

    I voted yes,
    If they are good enough in that desired sport why not, but the big issue is the physical sports like footy and rugby



    I wanted to vote for the bottom one aswell but it wouldnt let me......lol

      I am a true believer in equality which seems to put me in the minority. My only problem in any sport whatsoever is when there are 2 run parrellel one for women only and one that is open to men and women.

      In the case of anastasia in the darts since she has joined the pdc she no longer plays in women only tournaments.

      You see it in poker. There are no men only tournaments but you do have women only ones.In something like poker there is noreason why one gender should have any advantage over the other so it is time the women only tournaments should stop. They have very little value anyway due to the fact that most of the top women players in the world refuse to play in them.

    what about this equal prizemoney for men and women in tennis then?

    The poor guys can be out there for 5 hours playing a best of 5 sets match, while the women pop out for 60 minutes and notch up a 6-1 6-0 victory without breaking sweat.  And then there's the grunting and the shrieking.

    What does everyone think? Is the equal prizemoney fair?

    Make the women play best of 5 sets as well in the grand slams.The rest of the year the men and women often play only best of 3 sets.

    I remember when the first woman linesman (linesperson?) was introduced in the football league. Needless to say she got a fair bit of stick anytime she made a mistake.

    It won't be long before there's a woman in charge at a football club either. In fact, I do believe there were rumours a while ago about the womens England team manager being approached for the Grimsby job a short while ago.

    i don't believe there's any reason that women should not be on an equal footing with men, whatever the sport

    Continuing on the tennis theme, didn't Serena or Venus challenge any male player outside the top 200 early this millennium?

    I don't remember the specifics, but I think the guy ranked 201 accepted and beat her comfortably. I think that's what happened, please correct me if I'm wrong.

    Also, it's outrageous that women get paid the same as men in tennis, they do 40% less work! This would not be allowed in any other form of employment, why is it in tennis? I would really like to know.
