I've watched a LOT of curling this year...wonder how anyone can have curling be their LIFE!?
To the OP, your statement that women play "mind games" and men are just physical is just patently BS. As for women not needing a sense of accomplishment, take a look at the college graduation stats! Women are beating men at that little sign of accomplishment...I think that's a little more important than putting up with stupid hazing as a sense of accomplishment!
