I hope I'm posting this in the right forum.  I've just found this article (warning for US members, football in this context refers to soccer, not US football).  As a pro-feminist (please, no jibes or sniping – I know it marks me out forridicule) as well as an admirer and lover of strong, muscular women, I find the defeatist tone of this article very depressing, not to mention the majority of the comments.  The writers premise seems to be that young girls are automatically at a disadvantage the moment boys start growing and producing testosterone, and that they must therefore give-up competing against boys, because the situation is hopeless.  I'm not questioning her individual experiences, therefore, but the generalised conclusion that she infers. 
What do fellow members think?
