  Just thinking- remember when 30 year old Billy Jean King beat 50 year
old Bobby Riggs in tennis?  All this net.nonsense of women doing equal work
for equal pay (full equal syndrome) got me to thinking (bet you didn't think
I could).  Why can't/don't woman compete on an equal basis with men in the
sports in which the physical differences play NO part!?

  1) Chess- fully a brain "sport"; where's the women?

  2) Golf- dosen't take lots of strength

  3) Bowling- I know, this is a skill sport not a muscle event.

      Any ideas?
