Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

Just find another thing to differentiate on. Lung capacity. Muscle density. The things that actually matter.

Using sex just approximates those anyway.

So... the "open" class would be all men, because they naturally have higher muscle density, and the "restricted" class would be half men because some men can meet that restricted standard?

Again, what's the point of having the women's events? I would have thought it was allowing women to win medals by not having to compete against men.
