He-Man Woman Haters Club Aims to Keep Bocce Ball Strictly Dickly

Apparently, the club is facing an election for a new president, and one of the candidates is running wants to recruit more members to vary competition and help fix up the courts. But the core members—referred to by some in the community as "the big boys" who are accused of being something of bullies to the women who play on other courts—hate that idea. And they have their reasons.

You can’t put women with advanced players. It takes away the competition. That’s what I play for, the competition and the camaraderie.

I’m not saying women are inferior, but they’re inferior players…Also, men inherently use blue language. It happens. With women you have to mind your p’s and q’s, which is hard to do in the heat of a game. So I discriminate. Sue me.

Women, Mr. Cohen said, do not have the strength or stamina and “play for the sake of playing the game; they don’t play strategically.”

Have they watched women playing any sport lately for anything more than the butt shots on TV, or the boobie bouncing?

No strength or stamina, no strategy?

LOL Mr. He Man, just lol.

They want to protect women from the language that they use while playing. I am willing to bet these are the same type of men that

when a female walks past them they

1/ask to feel their tits
2 whistle
3/ say things like I would fuck that
4/my uncle dick wants you (while grabbing their crotch)

or all of the above. And yes these are all things I have had hollered to me and worse.

if you dare to challenge them they will always reply with a variant of ..... You must be some type of lesbian ho. Can I watch? In other words, they can't say anything that a woman hasn't had directed at them at some point or another.

I'll place my bocce balls on they really don't want to get beat by a girl.
