Yes, but also ethically interesting. Actually I don't think sporting bodies should discriminate on a gender basis at all. People should just play at a level they feel comfortable with and only suffer discrimination on their skill level.

A pain in the arse, isn't it?

smacking other blokes in the arse as a form of self actualisation versus holding your pen in your left hand - I can see how it's hard to tell the difference.

Both are abominations in the bible... In fact, I think left-handedness gets a bigger bum rap...
