This is very true.  Once again it comes down to the faulty way that ALOT of 
people think about sports in general.  Basically, that because men and 
women's games are "different", that automatically translates to unequal and 
one being "superior" to the other.  I just spent my entire weekend watching 
children of all ages, sizes and skill divisions play in a tournament and I 
for one enjoyed watching the game of hockey at ALL of those different levels. 
 Which one was "superior"?  It really depends on what you define "superior" 
as.  Speed?  Agility?  Aggressiveness? Size? Play-making?  Sportsmanship? I 
saw a Mites (5,6 year olds) play a game that had me MESMERIZED!  It's too bad 
that alot of people (including the group of men who were debating the women's 
-vs- men's game) can't just open their minds and love this game at all it's 
levels and for all of it's differences.
