It perplexes me that men want to get their wives/girlfriends involved in their hobbies. These vestiges of masculinity are our last bastions of escape.
Women have plenty of their own shit, you don't see men getting involved in netball or crochet in a bid bring equality to those pursuits. Sports of brute strength, violence, vocations that require hard manual labour, these should be left for those men that require the soul soothing brutality, the frankness and heated nature of those environments to maintain their sanity.
By all means we should welcome the women, albeit strictly on our terms. Don't make shit female friendly just because females think they have to be invovled. Don't segregate the females, allow them to participate in the ranks with the men, we're all equal, we're all human, if you think you can cut it, come and try!!!!
