79. The Weaker Sex p.31

Who says that women are the weaker sex？ Sixteen-year-old Kelly Williams from St. Petersburg， Florida is the first female wrestler to fight against boys and beat them. Who would have thought that possible not so very long ago？ Her success， though， has angered some people. They say she should have been banned from wrestling because it will cause the boys to think impure thoughts.

When asked about this， Kelly said， “People live in their own worlds and nobody has the right to force their values on others.” Should women be allowed to wrestle with men in competition？ What do you think？
