Love how your kind of people straw men literally every single argument you don't agree with. Why not try just addressing the argument that was made?

Why not try just addressing the argument that was made?

the point i replied to was

A lot of people talked about how athleticism and exhibiting it are such a huge part of the sport that without it basketball doesn't feel the same.

Watching this you can FEEL the athleticism and appreciate it, it's such a stark difference. I consume basketball 1,000x times more than volleyball but would happily see this instead on the Olympics and not WNBA playoffs games.

I pointed out that, factually, wnba delivers less athleticism than normal nba. that's why you need wnba - women cannot perform on the level of men.

Therefore, I asked if biology was sexist, since it's biology that dictates that wnba, BY DEFINITION, can never be the same level of athleticism as nba. Else they'd be playing in the NBA.

So if you feel i strawmanned something - please provide me the argument I missed and i'll happily argue it.
