Women in men's professional sport leagues

Do you think women should play in professional sports leagues like the PGA and NHL? Or should they remain in the professional leagues made for women?

I'm not talking about lowering standards or anything... I'm talking about women who can make it in the league on their merits.

There are many sides of this debate... I'll present a view here.

Con: Women should stay in their own leagues so that women's league will grow in caliber.

Pro: Women should be allowed move to the typically men's league because there is more money, fame, and potential for development there. Some women are unable to develop in typically women's leagues because the level of playing is too far below them.
