Way to miss the point of those posts. It's almost like you wanted to miss the point.bird. said:Some of y'all seem to be having a hard time understanding that this still allows for a men's division and a women's division. Good to see you're all so worried about women being forced to compete with the men and not having a chance to win, but it appears your white knighting is unnecessary.okestick:

So posting the reality of what is being proposed is missing the point now?GDaddy said:Way to miss the point of those posts.

Take a step back for a second and try to look objectively.Witchipoo said:Awright! The erBB He-Man Woman Haters Club is in the house! :jam_on: :jam_on: :jam_on:
But seriously:
How is this hurting you? What are you afraid of?
They are attempting to legislate fvcking SURF CONTESTS.
The government has no business sticking their fvcking noses in something like this.
This is just one step closer to micromanaging every aspect of people's fvcking lives.
This is East Coast style legislation reminiscent of bans on surfing and bans on Braziiian waxes.
What a waste of tax dollars.
FTR I think there is no reason why women shouldn't be able to hold a girls only contest if they want. Or men to hold a guys only contest. Or disabled people to hold a disabled only contest. Or a menhune contest (ageism!) Etc.
And those things are all wonderful.Farmer_Ted said:

will boys/men demand to be included in them?
to your point - now they want to get involved in SURFING?
crazy times my friends

Honestly, I don't care about men or women-only contests. I hate all contests equally. I was mostly responding to the tone of some of the comments. Us wimmens can smell misogyny a mile away.casa_mugrienta said:Take a step back for a second and try to look objectively.Witchipoo said:Awright!

And seriously, how is the government telling me I can't surf at my favorite break any worse than some sportswear corporation telling me I can't surf at my favorite break? I don't get to surf either way.
Not that I surf anymore anyway.
I disagree that surf contests are bad. This sport is great because of surfing competition not in spite of it. Hey, I was the contest director for the Women's Professional Surfing Association (WPS). I produced and directed surf contests throughout the '80s and they all included a women's division. One of my women Competitors went on to become a world champion. But with that said, the state of California and their goon lawmakers need to leave alone what's been working for many decades.
I hate all sports.bird. said:
I love surfing.
Therefore, surfing is not a sport.
It's logic! :jam_on:
I honestly don't see how surf contests benefit anyone besides the people who participate in them. They make things worse for the average recreational surfer, not better. Why should we care about them?
