Claudia, diving is not a gender sport. Contrary to popular belief, testosterone is not the problem in false male "no fear" behavior - that is cultural. I played on a football team that had a linebacker who was one seriously tough athelete and a helmet breaker, but was totally calm off the field, mild manmnered and quiet. Another one of the linebckers used to routinely ride the Coke machine up the elevator to the top floor of the dorm and throw it off the balcony into the parking lot, and got us penalized in every game for fighting. I dive with both men and women, all on our team, and the only deciding factor is the experience level for the dive in question. In our group we do not have so much of an issue with bullshit , as the group tends to regulate that. On the other hand you could draw an egg like Jill Heinerth, who clearly displays the worst possible "got to prove something" attitude about diving that anyone could diplay, and as such to me represents a high risk player . I doubt she has a dick or much testosterone, but then maybe she cut off Paul's and had an Addadicktome done, and that would explain a lot. Idiots come in both sexes, so do good atheletes , and with diving, the playing field is totally level - there is no distinction.
