I agree with Oh Drama...if they want to box then go for it!!! I dunno maybe I am biased because I lift weights and do other things (to get some serious buffness) on a regular basis. People called me unfeminine cause I used to hoop with the fellas back in high school...I still hoop with my BF and he elbows, pushes, and fouls me and I him...And I'm as pretty as they come!
My point is these women as did others in traditionaly man dominated sports have entered into endeavors that once were not available to them....Feminity is not the issue, the issue is people making their dreams a reality and seeing them through, Ten years ago there were little girls who WISHED they could play in a league of there own (pardon the movie pun).
The little girls I coach want nothing more than to play basketball at all levels. What am I supposed to say "Oh sorry honey you can do that because its not feminine enough...but hey a better option would be to just watch and cheer the guys on from the sideline like a groupie." LOL yeah right...
Sorry this is so long winded can you tell I belong to the National Association of Women and Girls in Sport?
