 I disagree, on all accounts.  I absolutely want score to be kept and I think competition is vital to self improvement.  

In the cases of men being stronger, this should be resolved by a system of meritocracy.  Only weak AF men would be fighting women.  Jui Jitsu people roll co-ed all the time. I've had my ass kicked by women.  

You again are lumping all women and men into two broad categories that I don't think are as clear as you are implying.  There are weak and small men out there and there are strong massive women who might be being held back from their ultimate potential by being allowed to only play against other females.

The ultimate minority is the individual.   
 I think we should just stick to what has worked for a really long time & not let the mentally deranged reorganize everything in society for no good reason. 
 Practically I agree, but it is a cop out answer.  Your response sounds like everyone I tell about Bitcoin.  Why not just keep the system we have, it's worked well so far. 

It would be practically difficult to implement what I'm describing, but I don't think that makes it fundamentally the wrong idea.  Lots of great ideas are going to be difficult to implement......but very worth it(Bitcoin, private roads, minarchy in general etc.)

Well someday we'll get into this in person😂.  Thanks for the rousing debate.  I'll agree to disagree.  

 
 The monetary system is stealing from people & destroying society, dividing sports into men & women's divisions protects people & expands participation. I don't think the comparison makes any sense. 
 segregating criminals away from good people is the same principle

good boundaries are vital for growth, and the most important ones are very abstract in nature 
 💯, but criminals are segregated by decisions they made not by their natural composition. 
 habits are nearly as solid as bones, in the decadent 
 What? 
 english, do you speak it? 
 Yeah maybe not the best comparison
