Women can enter mens sports (PGA, NHL), yet its deemed "unfair" if a guy wants to enter the LPGA. I look at it this way, Anika Sornestam (sp?) played in the PGA, and took money awya from a guy who maybe neede that money for something (i know its speculation). So then, in turn, would it be fair for a middle-ranked PGA golfer to switch over tot he LPGA and pull down 1st place money each tournament?
or what about the female Goalie who played for Tampa Bay a few years back because she made a fuss on equal rights. So then this equal rights then, in turn would allow a player like Joe Sakic or Jerome Iginla play n the female hockey league and get like, 10 goals a game right?
No, because there are double standard which piss me off and i dont get. My plan is to get semi-good at golf, then protet until i can join the LPGA...or hockey...either or...

Speaking of double standards, I have a couple of personal experiences that maybe someone can explain to me.
Back in high school, some of the students would end up getting into scuffles with teachers. They'd yell at them and fight with them, and all sorts of things. Some of these students weren't really bad students either. I was a fairly decent student myself, and when I'd end up going toe to toe with teachers (mind you, which wasn't often), I'd get crap for it by some of the students. Some of those students had tendencies to go toe to toe with teachers themselves, and even they'd give me crap for it.
Another one is when some students would insult me or try to push me around somehow. Not many people seemed to think anything of that, yet when I would decide to stand up to them whenever I thought they went too far, I'd get crap for that too.
I tell you. Humans. Can't sttand being one. Can't stand not being one. (Lame, I know.)
