OR Testosterone. Even if Michelle Wie hits it 300 yds, she doesn't have a genetic makeup that automatically puts more strength in her body. It's the same reason we don't let other athletes inject themselves with steroids, because it's an unfair hormonal advantage. It has no bearing on their skill or mental toughness. You might as well say that it's ageist for Little League not to let 17 year old kids from the Phillipines to play.

Sexism is NOT stating that men and women are biochemically and physiologically different. That is medicine. Sexism is taking someone's theory of biology without fact and making a generalization (like a certain Ivy League president).

As an aside, I don't think Michelle Wie will dominate the LPGA, at least until she develops a better putting game/mental toughness.
A man's testosterone has as many disadvantages as it does advantages.
