She then states that society should abolish the gender classification in sports and athletics anyway. I reply, "Well then women will never be able to participate in sports."

She retorts, "Why not?", to which I say "Because men are genetically superior in terms of athletic potential."


There's your trouble. Your response to her retort was the problem. Sure, she went into an idiotic argument after this, but if you had replied, "[B]ecause the only gender classifications are for women's sports" (even if maybe not 100% true). You could have cut off the nonsense right there. Then you could have used the examples such as "there is no men's football team." Any woman who is talented enough can try out and she might even remember the name of the LSU Homecoming queen who tried out for a kicker position. Then point out that a male student cannot play on any of the women's teams.

Learn to cut off these sorts of things without backing her into her feminist corner, forcing her to defend her views no matter what, and you will save yourself a lot of grief.
