My daughter loves to play sports. Soccer is her passion. If math were soccer, she would shoot a goal in it more frequently that she does today- but math is math. And soccer is soccer. No comparison. Especially, when she gets to play it against the boys and beat them at it. Half the time anyway. And then she gets to play mixed- co-ed soccer at the age of 10. It is perfect. Why don't we do it more? Especially now, when the girls have a physical edge balancing the agility and speed of the boys- it is the perfect time to build gender sensitivity. All those terms of gender equality, equity and what nots we throw about and do sensitisation trainings when we are almost fully insensitized already- they are all too late. We need to start early- at the age of birth and let them play together until they want to separate. And if not- heck- it must only be because they all made the team regardless- on equal capabilities- then who are we to say, no.
