But the world has more than its fair share of people who will insist than men and women are equal.
This simply isn't true.
The sexes compliment each other as we both have different strengths and weaknesses.

Like, men - getting the lids off jars, women - ironing.

Domestic bliss.

Jet or Lightening from the older series.

*pwoot!*

To answer the question I don't think it's fair. If women want to compete against men, then they compete against them, no byes or advantages to help them.

It was the same when I did my initial fitness test for the police.

The lasses didn't have to do full push ups like the lads and could lean on a bar at an angle.

One of them had huge tits as I recall so I didn't mind.

Rest my case in last nights show.

Missed it last night. What happened?

Fit bird was fast and came second overall leaving one bloke gasping

. Despite the advantage, she still would have beaten him. If anything, the unfit bloke should have the advantge but then their are diffrent measures of fitness which is what the contest measures.

Unfair advantage as it's such a huge start, but personally I'm more disappointed at how they're not showing all contestants running at once. Somehow having only pairs running isn't quite as enjoyable!
