Not REALLY a question, other than is Aussie54 a cowardly ****? In response to Women playing union rugby?

I just don't have another way to respond to his comments... Firstly, women's and men's rugby are completely different... it is still REAL rugby... news flash...women play competitively internationally. We have a completetly different club than the mens team- different funds and everything... thats not our issue. they see us as a resource (most of us girls have been playing way longer than the guys) and a way to further promote the sport. its different in the states- its a new sport here- nobody really knows about it becasue its not televised. yes i demand im treated like the men- becasue we are just as competative- and they treat us equally. as for the lesbian comments- most of our team is striaght but if we can break down the dykey stigma- we can get more women to play rugby... and that way have to rely less on the men...oh and we have a grand total of 10 calendars left... and half of the damn year is over- thats why they are 10$. theres nothing wrong with being gay and playing

Update:

rugby but there is a problem with me having to defend my straightness agnst close minded pple like yourself. u can't tell me that men mind picking up straight girls at rugby socials! Maybe your daughters wont be allowed to play rugby becasue their male eccentric-women bashing father said so but maybe they'll take after their mom and marry one. oh- and i don't appreciate you judging the morals of my friend... i saw pictures- shes not lying- it was an older club team that allowed her to play. get over it! i've also scrimmaged guys with tackle- im sure they took it easy- but it would never be competitive that way in a real arena! Instead of seeing women as a drain from your wonderful rugby club- think of the advancements available in the sport. how much more it could grow- how much better it could be. ive heard many coaches that have coached both men and women say that we have much better ball handling skills. we're good at diff things. Women's rugby IS REAL RUGBY! time to wake up

    I used to play both Rugby and Aussie Rules and I agree with your comments. I think this Aussie54 is a sexist pig and is just jealous that girls could be better than him at a sport that is generally known as a "man's sport". Good luck to you and every other woman that plays rugby or any other male-dominated sport.

    Damn, you shure are passionate bou rugby, i can just imagine dat passion on the freakin field!! I have to agree with you on this, there is no way you can say that women don't belong in rugby union. Whoever this Aussie54 clown is, he's obviously never seen REAL female union players in action. I come from the South Pacific (Cook Islands) and trust me when i say that island women who play Union are anything other than weak!! I've seen women who can hit harder than most men i play with and even RUN FASTER than most men! Don't get it twisted, some of these girls are really pretty too, but they also boast the same level of skill and sometimes better skill than most male rugby teams.

    However i won't go so far as to say that a team of fit, hard female players can run all over a team of fit, hard male players but it would certainly be a close game!

    There's not much separating a woman's athleticism or skill than that of a man's; however, i will say that it is EASIER for a man play a contact sport like union simply because we are born to be more muscular and larger by genetics. This does not make us better than women at sports, we simply have an advantage...

    Oh, and everyone knows women are 10 times more VICIOUS than men when it comes to sports. Look back in history, some of the most gruesome things were done by women. eg. The French Revolution? The women did all the killing! Moral of the Story: don't piss off a woman like Aussie54 just did, you might end up with a bayonet in your chest hahahaha!!

    Source(s): i would hate to meet you on the rugby field lol!!

    basic answer: specific My closest buddy is male and he replaced into raped as quickly as via his then female buddy, he replaced into blacked out on the time. Rape in it is maximum difficulty-unfastened definition is compelled intercourse. additionally in some international places forcing an merchandise, no longer in basic terms a physique section, into *specific places* is categorized as rape, or drowsing with somebody below a undeniable age would count extensive style as rape. So in such international places if a woman did that to a male she could be raping him.
