Are we doing right by women’s sports? In this episode of Messages for Men, Brad Dombo dives into the controversial debate surrounding gender and athletics, questioning whether it’s fair for biological males who identify as female to compete against women in sports.
As a father of two daughters and a grandfather to young girls who may one day compete, Brad raises concerns about the future of women’s athletics. Science has shown that biological differences exist between men and women—strength, speed, power, and endurance—so should these differences be ignored in the name of inclusion?
Brad breaks down:
🔹 The biological advantages that male athletes have over female athletes.
🔹 Why even elite female athletes like Serena Williams acknowledge the difference.
🔹 The NCAA's policies and how they impact competition fairness.
🔹 The real cost for female athletes losing out on scholarships, medals, and records.
🔹 Why progressive advocates for women’s rights are silent on this issue.
This conversation is not about exclusion—it’s about fairness, safety, and preserving the integrity of women’s sports. If we continue down this path, what will the future of female athletics look like?
