The rules for the volleyball league I’m playing in are kind of funny. They require that each team has a minimum of two women. (I’m proud to say that my team has only 2 men and we still kick boo-tay!) Anyway, the rules also state that a child who is 13 or younger may be substituted for a woman.
WHAT THE HECK IS THAT!?! Are they saying that women suck!?! Since when does a fully grown smack-the-ball-in-your-face woman have equivalent worth to a 13 year-old??? Was women’s suffrage for naught?
Man, before we know it 13 year-olds will be able to vote.

I agree, but if you want a younger kid to join in, you have to come up with something. 2 kids per adult just crowds things, and while I’m sure you and the other women on your team kick booty, it’s kind of like the strength rule. MOST men are stronger than women, just not all the time.
And all women are not sports equal. We had a girl in my youth group that could hold her own against any guy in any sport, but she was one in 30. You have to make rules somehow, and you do it with what makes the best, not the perfect fit.
But that was far too logical for this. For shame! It’s like this past weekend when I said to my parents “My first full and big paycheck! I don’t know what I’m going to do when I get it.” *said with Neal’s dramatic flair* My Mom’s reply, “well to start paying off your bills, of course!” My Dad put on a sly grin at my Mom poking my dreams balloon flat.
Sorry to be my Mom this once Steph.
