Reply #63: They are the same size and weight!

What is wrong with you? This isn't a contest between two people of vastly differing body mass, they are the same size! They are children for fucks sake. Yes, boys and girls DO compete against each other, and with each other all the time in soccer, little league, skiing, tennis, martial arts, boxing, etc. etc.

Trying to keep girls out because you want to keep them "safe" is outdated and sexist. If you can't see your opponent as a fellow competitor and see them only as a "girl", you are objectifying and stereotyping her. The wrestling league allows girls to wrestle, the girls parents allow it, the girl is clearly capable of doing it.
