I received this suggestion in my comments yesterday and honestly thought it was satire at first. But people kept arguing, so I figured – screw it, let’s actually try what they’re suggesting. Grabbed my coffee, sat down at the messy desk, and opened my local rec league’s website.
Step 1 – Finding Men Actually Playing in Women’s Leagues Right Now
Scrolled through the official women’s basketball, soccer, and volleyball teams for my city’s spring season. Team rosters are public, so I tapped on every single one. Pictures, names, everything listed. Searched for literally ANY dude on these women’s teams. Clicked. Scanned. Clicked again. Nada. Zip. Zero. Not one male name or photo. Checked the rules section – clear as day: “Players must be female as identified on legal documentation at registration.” Shut that tab after 45 minutes of fruitless clicking. Pointless.
Step 2 – Looking for “Vote” Buttons… Anywhere
Okay, maybe these internet guys meant voting for policy changes? Dug through the rec department’s site menus. “Rules,” “Governance,” “Feedback Forms” – nothing about polling or votes. Went to the city council page next. Searched “sports policy change,” “gender vote,” “ballot initiatives.” Found budgets, meeting minutes about park repairs, but ZERO links mentioning votes on who plays in women’s sports. No buttons to click, no petitions to sign online. Felt like hunting for a ghost.
Step 3 – Trying Their Alleged Final Step Anyway
The online “experts” kept saying it takes “30 seconds, bro!” Whatever. Followed their exact phrase in the search bar: “vote men into women’s sports.” Got pages full of news articles about bans, debates, opinions. Absolutely NO tools or portals to “vote.” Clicked the first five links – all rants on forums or news sites with comment sections filled with angry faces and capital letters. No voting mechanism. Not even a suggestion box email. Just… yelling into the digital void. Checked the time – wasted over an hour chasing nothing. Drained my coffee cup and laughed at the absurdity.
Final take? This whole “easy 3 step guide” smells like pure rage-bait nonsense. Zero evidence supporting it exists on any official level in my city. Either these guys are spectacularly lost, or deliberately stirring chaos where none belongs. Either way, filing this experiment under pointless internet crusades. Don’t waste your coffee time like I did.
