Or - we could not worry about silly shit and just hold events open to anyone.
I'm a total advocate for this idea. Let the men enter the women's tournaments and vice versa.
And no handicapping either.

Yes, sir, i do. To completely belittle a person's plight and out right accused that person of something so ridiculous is offensive, mean and hurtful. That would definitely classify it as such. I do not care in the least bit how you feel about me. Have the courage of your own convictions and think before you speak.

Justin it's not a sign of weakness to be offended by incivility, however, this is the internet anyone with a pulse can participate in a conversation. We all learned about sticks and stones along time ago. You need to allow your intellect to override your sensibilities. When someone resorts to name calling it's because they cannot form an intelligent argument and are not worth your time.
Think about it. The very first post on this thread is nothing but a bunch of whining. For someone so manly why be so easily offended? It's all a matter of perspective.��
I haven't read this entire diatribe but will simply say that there are no physical abilities needed in the game of pool that a male has over a female so having different divisions is silly anyway.
Every woman I know of that plays can handle a 21oz stick and make a bridge with the best man I know. They can also stroke their cue just as straight and hit the cue ball right were they needed just as well.
So if woman wants to identify as a man or a man as a woman, though I do not believe with their choice, it does not matter to me in shooting pool against them.

I'm sorry for you that you have been looking at pool through rose colored glasses, but the reality is that it's not a pretty path to becoming a champion when there's no money to be made.
Maybe someday things will change in the future. We're all keeping our fingers crossed that it does, and that up and coming players will not have to endure what players like myself had to endure.
People will behave themselves when there is money to be made and they're told that if they don't, they're out. I think of the IPT. Yes, it was a farce, but for a short while, the players all saw an opportunity to make real money. They dressed nicely and acted well. That's what happens when the rewards are real, or at least seemed real at the time. People start to get their act together and start to behave. Yes, there will always be the odd exception but for the most part, people can change when they have to.
Rhea, your handicapping skills are about on a par with the rest of your game..(low B you said)..The chances of Siming winning 1 or 2 sets out of 50, races to 7 or more against Oscar, are very dismal indeed!..When you have elevated your game, to the level you want it to be, you will be able to see that much more clearly!.. I don't think anyone would even bother streaming that "intense" match for free! :sorry:

Waaayy too sensitive here. He was responding to, and highlighted, her signature line where, she referred to herself as a billiard "phenom." You have to expect a little push-back when you make that claim about yourself on this forum. The jab had nothing to do with her gender orientation, just her self aggrandizing.
Jeez, "professionally offended" much?
I am now going to call you fish.
