Debate on Women Athletes Versus Men in Sports
The exchange reviews whether women athletes show comparable tenacity to men. George James argues men dominate endurance fields, Sid Cavill counters with examples of club members crossing the Golden Gate. James contends eight men could swim the Gate. Cavill notes others who have crossed and will prove it. Women have achieved much and gain importance in athletics, yet the notion that men are less tenacious remains preposterous.
