Having dated a female MP and who has two female friends who are retired military, I can say for certain that not all positions are eased. It depends on the position. Some are, not all. The ones that are definitely should be.
BT is a different thing. I frankly think they should just get rid of it entirely, and set daily fitness standards and be done with it.
Back in high school, girls AND guys had to do the same number of pushups and situps and pullups and laps. And they all did it. Weight lifting is different, but a woman could certainly squat at least 200 lbs if she trained at a basic level.
As to the last statement, I don't know. You got male refs who can't seem to break up fights in time all the same. Not sure that really matters. Fighters have died on Tony Weeks' watch. That's going to happen regardless - and some of it's on the corner too.
I hear ya - yeah there are bad male refs too, or just even male refs who have a bad night.
I just personally would not feel comfortable with 99999-100000 women reffing a fight I was in. Probably would only feel comfortable with about 1/3rd of men reffing it. Just comes down to physical capabilities and how comfortable I feel with a person being able to get involved physically if necessary.
Getting involved with the little physical stuff wouldn't even really bother me - I don't think the average woman ref will get involved as often on that stuff as she should because she isn't suited to doing so. But there are a lot of boxing matches that are allowed to be more physical so that wouldn't bother me.
The bigger issue would be trusting her to really get involved physically if necessary. To jump in and push a fighter away to stop the fight. I think sending a token woman out there in the sake of equality is dangerous and quite frankly stupid. Just my 2 cents.
Long as she knows what she is doing and she is capable of getting inbetween both guys (not that way) when needed to enforce the rules. I certainly don't think being a boxing ref is the job for your average 5ft4 100lb girl.
Good post, I agree. I personally feel like the woman I saw reffing last night was not fit to ref a fight between two 175 pound men. Maybe she could have reffed a couple 100 pound men. Just my 2 cents.
What if it's a trans? (I know, that's not a woman, but they say they are, and they're strong enough to handle the men so...does that count?)
Like what if Fallon Fox was up in there reffing? Would you still have a problem with it?
I have 0 issue with a type of strength-performance related test for a ref to see if they are physically capable of being a ref at certain levels. If a woman can do it, I'm OK with that. The problem is almost always in those situations (military is a good example) they ease the standards for women which I think is terrible in a combat situation, be it in the military or combat sports.
So yeah if that guy was still basically a guy and could pass the tests that's fine with me. May need to pass a mental health test as well imo. Not sure what all types of hormones a lot of trans are on as well.
The problem here imo is we are in a society where people say 'hey a woman can do that job buddy, so what' and they should be saying 'hey a woman can do that job, if she physically qualifies for it' and often times she can't physically qualify for it. I think it endangers the athletes. A woman being too slow/weak to stop a fight could cost a guy his life.

this one time a female police officer tried to pull me over. i laughed at her knowing female police officers dont exist. she started following me but eventually crashed her car like women always do.
Lol....I like it

Seems like of the people commenting on this thread - you have the sensible people who agree women should not be reffing physical men's sports.
And most of the detractors are probably small men who feel offended by that assertion. I bet every guy on here against it is under 5'9 lol
Didn't even notice her so I guess she did well :lol1:
You know who HATE WOMEN the most? Guys who can never get the Women They Want...

Lol. Well honestly she kind of looked like a dude so maybe that's why you didn't notice her.
And not that it has anything do with my original post, but I have almost 0 respect for women in general, because of their general actions. But I also have 0 problem getting any kind of woman because deep down they aren't attracted to guys trying to white knight and treat them like a man. They want you to be a man and treat them like a woman. It's genetics.
I just expect a woman to be a woman and man to be a man. If you really feel comfortable with a woman like that reffing a fight between two 175 pound men, I mean that's wild.
You may think that virtue signaling like that gets you pus.sy man but it really doesn't. Women like men, who act like men, and who treat them like women.
And it's not even about getting pus.sy - it's about safety in this regard and there is no way I would trust any woman to get involved in a fight between two grown men. They genetically aren't strong enough. Crazy anyone would try to argue against that.
Don’t have a problem with women refs so long as they do a decent job. The woman who reffed this fight did a good job
So you think an average woman is strong enough to ref a MW fight (guys fighting at 175)? Just absurd to try and co-sign that in the efforts to try and virtue signal.

Missed the fight. Was she bangable?
I have been in there with some awful looking women, I'm not proud to say. There is no way I could even consider getting in there with this lady. Not that it matters - she should never be reffing a full grown man's fight.
I was gonna ask him how he knew who the "usual suspects" would be if he just got here 3 months ago lol.
Dude's a clown and immediately made huge assumptions about politics.
Lol man. Here is a proposition for you - what if...I had a different account, and this is a new one? Wow that's pretty incredible isn't it. Mind-blowing stuff.
Also I brought up politics in the sense that many people on this site will take the opposite view depending on who says it. It's exactly like politics.
You're a Bears fan, with a Bears QB in your avatar, who wants weak women reffing men's boxing matches.
You're not even a man to me. You're a wimp. You're not doing women any favors by encouraging that stuff but keep being you with your little virtue signaling self.
Just needs more gentlemen in the sport to make sure to catch her when she eats a piece.

And fortunately a lot of the guys just have no power anyway.
Hugo Centeno lands best punch of the night--on the ref. #PBConNBC pic.twitter.com/8MCdnR3BbD— Round By Round Boxing (@RBRBoxing) June 19, 2016
Well yeah Hugo definitely doesn't.
What was the last fight where a referee had to be physical? I'll wait. You sound like one of those dudes who's never gotten p*ssy in their life but says "women need to be in the kitchen" all the time.
There was a woman ref. Who cares. It took nothing away from the fight
They do it all the time you dumbass lol. Even in this fight did you notice how she was basically unable to separate them in the clinch. Or you probably give her a pass on that because she's a woman and she was doing the best she could.
Not that it really mattered because they weren't completely abusing it on the inside and generally fought out of it pretty quickly, but she was just a bystander. A better stronger ref would have not allowed that to have gone on. You probably listened to Joe Goosen say she was doing a great job so like a zombie you co-sign it.
Yeah man you've got me - I've gotten more pus.sy in my life than I'm proud of. But keep white knighting - 'women' who look like that ref love that sh.it.
"We want people to fight, not be warriors," McCarthy says. "Your job is to protect the fighters. When they can't protect themselves, you do. Our job is to protect the fighters! I don't give a f--- if the fans boo or don't like me. I don't give a f---. I have to do what's right." - Big John McCarthy
Ask yourself if you think that woman could protect you in a critical moment!!!
You basically admit the woman can't do the job properly but you excuse her because she's a woman. You're an embarrassment.
Has nothing to do with being sjw you tard. Your join date is from this year lol
