what is your overall opinion on sexism in society and sports?

# data[].attributes.body
but the sport isn't about being equal its about being the fastest in the world and so if you are having races where they are of the same speed you can't give a male or a female the title of of the fastest in my opinion because there will be someone who is capable of running the same time and so you don't really hold that title its kinda divided between the two or three or even the four of the best athletes

# data[].attributes.body
so as shown if the quickest women in that race would be the slowest in the semi finals then it is proven that racing them together would be unfair as not one women racing that year would make it to the finals. this is where i believe that the women stand a better chance of racing themselves because they will be equal to the people that are racing against. and also if there is only one girl in the semi finals of the race it will not bring up them in the world of man watching women's sports because some people only come to watch the finales and if the women are knocked out in the semis then people are not going to be bothered by it. where as if they were in there own finals the world will be watching them as equals to man as they are racing on equal levels and have a closer more entertaining race.

The point I aim to make is give women the chance to compete with men yes in some cases men are physically better than women but i think that women should be given the option to race with men, even if the men are a second quicker the option should still be their because not only does it increase the sport but it improves the athletes creating faster males and faster females and so the sport should have all females race all the men putting them into heats based on ability and not speed then the semi finals will have males and females together then they will make a final for the men and a final for the women but just have the first two stages combining the two genders but still end up with the same outcome of having a male final and a female final and still have the two genders race each other.

This helps back up my point that women can not run as fats as men.

Testosterone plays a major role in why men run faster than women.

Running is a sport that both men and women enjoy, whether they're racing in a 5K or a marathon, or competing for a team or their country while speeding around a track. But no matter the venue, it's pretty common to see men clock faster times than women do.

Given that both men and women train equally hard, why is it that men are faster runners than women? Even the world's fastest man is about a second speedier on the 100-meter dash than the world's fastest woman: Usain Bolt did it in 9.58 seconds, versus the late Florence Griffith Joyner's time of 10.49 seconds.

The answer to this gender bender is multi fold, but it has a lot to do with hormones and body size, doctors told Live Science.

Before girls and boys hit puberty, their bodies are fairly similar. During puberty, however, boys experience a surge of testosterone. By adulthood, some men have up to 20 times more testosterone than women do, according to HealthLine.

by racing them together yes women athletics will get a better viewing rates but they will be placed in the low heats and not get into the finals. for example in the 2012 Olympics the women that won the race were still slower then all of the men in the 100 meter final so this means that men and women will not get the same opportunity to will because they are not able to run as fast as men because of there testosterone levels being less then half of a mans. this is what makes people run fast.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes but through time women are getting better with each year and with new training techniques its getting women a lot faster, and so if you was to compare the men from 2012 and the women now there would at least be one female in the semi finals because of how quick she is this female could be Dina Asher-Smith who is capable of running 10.8 which is the slowest a male would run in the semi finals.

# data[].attributes.body
Females and males both want to be equal having the same equal rights and this is taken away from them because males will receive a greater amount of viewing in athletics because of how fast they are and because this takes away the amount of viewing the women receive the speed that they have isn't ever shown and so people don't see if a female can compete with the men, segregating the males and females basing them not on their ability but on their sexuality

# data[].attributes.body
Segregation is already at play by not letting male and females run together in their own heats and i believe that it forms a better ending final race because you don't know what the females will run and you don't know what the males will run and that's will improve the sport as it adds more tension into the sport because you dont know who's got the gold, silver or bronze, as well as you don't know if the male will get a gold or if a female will get a gold.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes that may be the case, but thinking as an athlete to be the best you have to run against the best and i think that all athletes should be given the option to race against the best whether they are a male or a female this is because it gives them that opportunity to reach for the top.

# data[].attributes.body
also if she is put into a race against boys just because she is the Quickest in the world at that time it is saying that she can no longer race with the girls because shes too quick, segregating her because shes good at what she does.

# data[].attributes.body
I see where you are coming from but if you put her against the men and she is running the quickest she ever has, then she is not going to want to run anymore because every time she goes to race she will go knowing that she will lose.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes that may be the case!! However when Caster Semenya the 25 year old, 800m runner is a prime example as she is quick enough to compete against the men in the 800m because she has been to run 4 seconds quicker than the girls in 2009,

For a male age 19 or older:

Testosterone total should be between 240-950 ng/dL

Free testosterone should be between 9-30 ng/dL

For a female age 19 or older:

Testosterone total should be between 8-60 ng/dL

Free testosterone should be between 0.3-1.9 ng/dL

# data[].attributes.body
women and men should be given the option this then allows them the chance letting them go througt the heats and semi finals and if they make the final let them compete against each other.

# data[].attributes.body
I can see your point but if you have a women running against a man in a race it will cause women to lose interest because men have 20 times more testosterone them women and women's hormones affect there levels of testosterone. this will never allow them to compete with men. this means that women in sports are athletes in there own rights and should not be compared to men they should just been seen as equals in what they do.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion women and men should not be able to compete against each other because women have a low testosterone level then men. This is proved by the world record for the women's 100 m because every man in the men's 100 meters finals beat that recorded. this shows that women should not compete against men but should also be looked a upon as equals to men in there own rights.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes this is true but you have to consider that situations that all athletes experience and that is when they feel someone close to them in a 100m sprint they push themselves further therefore running quicker and this can be applied to a man and a woman racing against each other, lets say that there times are around the same and he is half a second quicker than her he will run quicker because he will feel the pressure of her on his shoulder and she will run quicker because she will have the presence of the man being infront of her and so this will cause both of them to run quicker.

# data[].attributes.body
i believe that there shiould be gender equality and so that means men and women should be able to compete against each other basing their ability to the sport rather than their gender
