If two woman or two men want to get in a ring and bash each others brains out, what's it to anyone else?
RawMustard,
I'm not that convinced that it is that simple. From more than enough evidence such people more often than not call upon taxpayer funded services such as healthcare & also more often than not taxpayer funded social services after they got hurt.
If we had a system where such activities were covered by insurances & not tax payer funded services then it wouldn't be so bad. The way it is now we all are forced against our will to support these bone heads.

Ah, Indy. I actually did have that bit in my last post but removed it for fear of derailing another of o sung wu's threads.

You're right of course, it's all about the money and that too is other people sticking their noses in other peoples business... er pockets.

First we create rules to force people to pay for others stupidity and then we need to create rules to stop the stupid from being stupid because it costs us. How about we get our noses out of other people business and pockets and kill two birds with one stone and let the stupid fend for themselves?

Thanks to all of you who've consented to add to the Topic. Most of you now realise I'm not the sharpest knife in the draw, as evidenced by my first question ?

Females engaged in boxing, surely they are anatomically unprepared for any blows or punches directed at to the breast area. Or in the stomach (reproductive) regions ? Because of the likelihood of occasioning severe and permanent injury, to those very delicate parts of the anatomy ? Often, when I was still working I saw many women of all ages, and levels of health, conveyed to hospital because of some strike or injury rendered to those very sensitive areas.

Then to watch these young women, going at it, 'hammer and tongs' in some 'caged' arrangement, I could only imagine the local Coroner would be kept pretty busy ?

Surfing, I'm not quite sure why they chose that sport to be included alongside that of boxing ? Though I have no idea how tough it is, I would've though it would be reasonably safe for a young and fit woman to safely participate in it ?

Dear O Sung Wu,

You ask, "Should there be any limitations
with women's sport?"

Women have long been, and to a great extent
still are, denied entry to many athletic
roles: sport has long been an almost
exclusively male preserve.

In recent years however, things have
changed significantly thanks to the efforts
of court decisions, and legislation.
Today, female athletes are now enjoying adequate
coaching and other facilities, instead of being
treated as athletic after-thoughts. Women are
becoming increasingly evident as joggers, soccer
players, race-car drivers, javelin throwers,
high-jumpers, golfers, tennis players, gymnasts,
basketball players, and long-distance runners,
and swimmers.

In fact, no matter what the sport,
there is no physical reason why women cannot
participate; they can avoid injury to
vulnerable parts of the body the same way men do,
through the use of protective clothing and rules of
fair play.

The reason why women do not take part in every sport
however, is a cultural one.

Men still control sport.
It is acceptable, for example, for
women to take part in sports involving the display of
grace and beauty, such as figure-skating, tennis,
swimming, or skiing, and in non-contact sports such as
basketball, netball, and track.

It is much less acceptable however, for women to take
part in any sport in which they have physical confrontation
with an opponent, in which they become too unkept,
exhausted, and sweaty. Football, ice-hockey, and of course -
boxing, remain among the male preserves, for it
is not so much talent as the individual's ascribed status
(male or female) that determines access to an achieved status
in sport.

cont'd ...

Men still want female athletes to appear "ladylike."
In the playing field as elsewhere in life.

Foxy,
That's fine as long as they go & harrass their insurance company for payment of health care & not the public health system. There are plenty of reasonable citizens who have unfortunate accidents & who need to rely on the public health system. Those who choose to expose themselves to frivolous activities which can cause serious health issues should not be treated with public funding.
