Re: girls in sports. In Little League one year a jerky coach replaced me at first base with his daughter - the only girl in the league (I don't know why this was allowed). I was a good first baseman and she was terrible. But there she stayed and I was demoted to the outfield. Pure humiliation. Never really connected this incident to feminism before since it was obviously a case of nepotism, but those two things can overlap in strange ways, as Steve has pointed out on previous occasions. |
