      You used “common sense” as evidence that your view was correct, yet you don’t think showing that common sense has historically been used as a means of oppression is relevant? Ok, sure

        I didn’t say my view was correct. I explained why I think blue WA voted this way. To most people it IS common sense that men are physically more capable than women on average. Because for one, men hold the world records in every single sport, and by quite a lot.

        Like I said, be mad at mother nature.

        Which group of people most strongly support this ban? Female athletes lmao.
