The more I have been watching some "sports", the more I question gender issues.

What is the need for Men's AND women's Curling? There is no athletic edge that I can see either way, so what is the need to split them up? Same can be said for billiards, target shooting, bowling, and a few others.

Granted I am grasping at some pretty low tier sports, but it came to me while watching the olympics.

I suppose it really comes up with activities that are sports in name only, and are more like competitive hobbies.

Let's break down those barriers....

ok, random rant over.

They split them so that women have a chance to win. Even in curling or bowling, the elite women would not beat the elite men.
