Soon men will be wiped out?

There was a time when members of the fairer sex were expected to stay that way - stay fair skinned, at least for the high heeled, away from the melanocytic activity enhancing UV light and powdering themselves smoothly pretty. They confined to the spectator pen to add splendour to the event but not as contestants. Their participation in international sporting events were only sanctioned by the governing bodies as late as early 20th century.

From then on, female contestants competed amongst themselves till some of them actually perform better than their average male counterpart. In 2012, the number of female contestants equal that of the male in the Olympic Games.

Fast forward to the 21st century...

A new breed of reality based competitions have emerged. A competition where men and women can compete as equals without any handicap given. One competition that I had the chance of viewing was Wipeout. It is a very outdoors physical intensive kind of competition which involves hard knocks, thumping falls and slippery poles. Despite all this hurdles, the ladies still come up tops standing tall above the men!
But of course, we all know that reality TV is anything but real. After the game show fiasco to improve rating and advertisements, it is hardly surprising that the TV would stoop low to anything and everything to sex up their shows!
