Will - I stand by the idea that there are many things, including sports, fine for both sexes, but disagree with this very new attitude that "women can do ANYTHING"; and, more generally, prefer regulationism to freedom.

So women can play any sport - presumably including rugby. Good - a reasonably straight response there.

Women doing ANYTHING is not a very new attitude, as it happens. Why should women be regulated? No reason given. I would refer you to a building firm in Brighton which advertises itself as So-and-so "and daughters". Speak to them about regulation and freedom and see what those lasses say! Don't give me any crap about women not being able to lift certain weights, by the way. I've known several women who could put a man to shame with their power and strength - and several men who couldn't lift more than a cup of tea.
