    Shootings an interesting one. Most people familiar with guns notice women take to shooting accurately more easily and quickly than guys (with rifles, not handguns). I’ve seen this lots personally. My theory involves lower heart rate and lower muscle mass being conducive.

      I dont know what they’re on about with Mitchell.

      (Jackie Mitchell struck out Babe Ruth and Lou Gherig in 1931 and was kicked out of the league a month later)

      This lacks SO much context, it was an EXHIBITION match and she never played in the MLB, she played in the minors. Anyone reading that would assume she struck out two greats in a real game and was banned by the MLB.

      There’s a lot of truth to she shooting thing, that should absolutely be co-ed.

      However, my point still stands: women and men should be separated if the sport has a physical component to its competition. (i.e. any sort of contact.)
