Should women play rugby with men?

I have an assignment to do about women being able to play rugby alongside or against men. I need some good reasons to back it up as well.

Also I wanted to know what everyone else's opinions were on this topic. :)

But...I also think that they shouldn't play rugby with men.

It is fact that men are physically better than women.

Women should probably just stick to their own gender.

I don't know what kind of men and women you are looking at, but in the rest of the world, male athletes almost always out-perform female ones. Women are at a genetic disadvantage because their bodies don't produce the same natural muscle mass or testosterone-driven aggression that gives men an advantage in physical sports. This is the logic behind having separate men and women's divisions in almost all sports. Take the statistics from track for example. the world record for women in the 100m dash is 10.49 seconds. For the men it is 9.58 seconds. If men and women were to compete on the same level, no women would have recognition in athletics because because men have a biological advantage. Women should stick to their own for the sake of fairness.

The only such match that ever existed was the one between Billie Jean King and a male partner, Bobby Riggs, who kept squawking that a woman could never beat a man in tennis...guess what? She won it! I'd love to see another match like that myself!

That is just a sexual harassment law suit waiting to happen as the women will complain about getting groped. Although...., some may like it...., but no, absolutely not! Are these good looking women we're talking about? ;)

physically women are built differently from men with lighter bones, less muscle, more fat, and more mobile joints, wight distributions in females is also different. While the larger female breasts give some weight to the top of the body women give much heavier than men in th lower part of the body because of the female pelvis is larger,, fat deposits are around the abdomen, thighs and hips. The body's center of gravity is therefore usually slightly lower in women than in men. These differences mean that the female body functions in a mechanically different way from that of the male....
