Ok I do have something to say about this...I'm prob gonna catch hell.
The ladies in my high school formed a basketball team, the other surrounding high schools & counties also joined us in our lead. That was in 1991(2) perhaps? Did we get a smaller court, smaller basketballs, lower hoops? NO..if you wanted to play in a man's world, you played by his rules and excelled over their ridicule & comments, basically making them eat their words.
My father taught me how to play with the boys..
"You wanna play with the boys you gotta play by their rules, be tougher, and make them eat your dirt"
And I did..basketball, baseball (Not Softball), soccer, volleyball, football, boys bicycles, poke with the guys, chess, hunting, fishing, etc etc etc...I was not allowed any handicaps. I went out and played by their rules and embarrassed quite a few of them, pissed some off, and there were some that didn't want to play with me. So I said to them
"What is the matter with you? Afraid you will get beat by a girl and I will make you like it?"
lmoa...least they could take a challenge, step up, and meet me on the feild. It's why I never played well with other girls LOL
