No Woman in the Snooker Top 30: Do We Need Quotas? (tongue-in-cheek)

Clearly, physics is discriminating against women.

FTA:

Women lack the same fine tuned reflexes, hand-eye coordination and the instincts which men evolved for Hunter-gathering.

Perhaps. But I have another contributing factor: the variance is men is much greater than the variance in women.

I suspect if you took a statistically relevant cross section of the population and ranked them according to their snooker skill, the top 10% and the bottom 10% would be dominated by men.

Statisticians might say men have a "larger standard deviation".

Hence in any competition which selects for the top (or bottom) 10%, be it the board room or snooker competition, most top (and bottom) people will be men.

Yes, we do need quotas, because that's the only way to have any sort of equality between men and women.

There is no equality of outcome, obviously.

Is there equality of opportunity? Hardly. There is zero opportunity for a woman to become the best snooker player.

Equality of treatment? Nope, we don't even have that here. If it wasn't for the special women's leagues, these women wouldn't be playing snooker. They wouldn't be getting enough prize money to support themselves.

So if we're going to keep insisting on this lie that men and women are equal and interchangeable, let's just go whole-hog and insist on equality of results. That way we will destroy ourselves faster and the sooner we will be forced to stop this idiocy.

Why watch snooker when one can watch pool?

OMG, sexist comment as the woman is not (NOT) fat/obese and actually sexy/good looking.
