Do you think the pro boxing commision should allow inter-gender matches between men and women?
I’m not sure. I have mixed feelings about mixed-gender boxing, but I’m not sure how much of that is because of my social training in a sexist society. I used to work out with a woman who helped train Laila Ali, and she kicked my butt regularly. Out of maybe twenty sparring matches, I won only one. I wouldn’t want to face her in the ring in a REAL bout. But that’s thinking about boxing from an athletic point of view. From the point of view of ethics, I’m not certain that professional boxing shouldn’t be outlawed altogether. I haven’t worked it all out in my head yet.
