Females like playing sports too, what happened to equal opportunities regardless of your gender?

i mean is 2014, enough of this misogynistic bullsh*t, women should be viewed as equals and shouldn't be looked down upon.

It's a little sick how we objectify women as sexual objects that only have a place in the kitchen, but this is not true, they make fine athletes as well.

Yet you're posting photos of women that will definitely be viewed sexually. Not sure if serious.

That is what they wear you know, i didn't photoshop those shorts lol

And yea i was being sarcastic but as a joke, i actually fully support Women in sports.

sometimes i disagree with the female mindset but even if that is the case i respect women enough to see them as our equals.

Because nobody wants to pay to see women's sports since they're not nearly as exciting as men's sports. That's really all there is to say on the matter.

I agree to an extent but this doesn't me we should deprive females from participating in sports.

They have the same right as us to play sports and have their own league.

In regards to funding these sports it all depends, schools need to have unisex sports program so all the funding can't go to male sports and exclude female ones, it's not fair and it doesn't send the right message to females attending that school.

When it comes to broadcasting a sports now it becomes a business and under that context i think it's fair to judge by popularity

Now im not naive, i know the sport programs in schools are also measured by popularity and also multiple hidden agendas but truth is it should at least fund female sports to promote the idea of equal opportunities.

i know, but it shouldn't be that way and they don't even care to hide it.

all im saying is leave some funds for the women programs so they can have their sports too.

They have money. They're not playing volley ball with rolled up socks. And whether or not it should be a business it is. Besides, unfair or not public schools have little enough money as it is so I have no problem with them pushing men's sports over women's sports if it gives them the ability to spend it on academics.

Some interesting stories I've heard from fellow Saudis who work there on business during the week:

1. Saudi women will ride a taxi without money to pay the fare. On arrival at their destination, they will offer the driver a squeeze of their tits instead of cash payment. For those that refuse and demand cash payment for the fare, they threaten to report the driver to the police for sexual harassment.

2. Women will get off on walking through a crowded group of men, and brushing up on them. They will try to discreetly swap numbers with a man that they like, so that a secret shag can be arranged.

3. In the coffee shops, they use Bluetooth as a primitive form of 'Tinder', swapping photos with each other. Once two people take a shine to one another, they will arrange a secret shag. The lad is going to have to brave it without seeing the bird until the abaya comes off :eek:.

4. The western embassies apparently turn into nightclubs in the evenings, where you can get all kinds of booze, drugs or women, for the right price.

A completely hypocritical and fucked up nation. To be avoided like the plague.
Made me lol, would be stunned if these are true though.

No they try to avoid as many lefts as possible which is totally logical in all but the smallest of towns.

Yeah I read about that story yesterday. Was going to post it but never got around to it.

Apparently he isn't that affiliated like stories are reporting but besides that fact. If you are going to kill yourself you need to jump off of a building that's higher than two stories. Come on now.

You don't really want to kill yourself if you think that you'll die from a second story drop.
