On BBO Forums a few men were complaining that Jill Levin had sued the ACBL to get men's events abolished but meanwhile, the ACBL continues to host women's events. 

I support the idea of Junior Events, Senior Events, and Women's events.  I used to support the idea of Men's events too, but except perhaps as a once-a-year tradition, I don't see any reason why we should prevent women players who want to play against the best from playing against the best.  And the best men tend to be better at bridge, on average, than the best women.

At the end of a long day, I tried to poke fun at those guys by making a joke without thinking it all the way through.  I posted it too quickly and subsequently deleted it.  It's mildly vulgar, mildly sexist, not very funny and over the fold.

I was trying to tweak the men I was having the conversation with, but then subsequently realized that the joke also insults the participants in those events, which is certainly not what I intended.  The joke was up less than 10 minutes, but it got a response, so I had to acknowledge it and now that I've deleted it, I figured I ought to post it somewhere rather than have people speculate about just how horrible it might have been.

                                                                                                                                                                                       

For those of you who decry the existence of women's events, to be eligible to participate in them all you have to do is sign the following statement:

"I, insert your name here, solemnly swear that I am a pussy."

I will be happy to vouch for you.
