Boxing is for boys; dancing is for girls.

Some people think of certain sports as only for men or only for women. For example, when a girl wants to take up boxing, people say, "You're so pretty. Why do you want to be a boxer? Boxing is for men." And some parents don't like it when their sons show interest in dancing or figure skating.
It is generally true that boys tend to do sports that require stregth and size, such as soccer and biking, and that girls go for sport that require flexibility and grace, such as figure skating and gymnastics. But is there a diffetence in the type of sports boys and girls play?

What's your opinion about it? Do you think are there sports only for girls and sports only for boys?

    I think that all the girls and boys can choose what they want to do.If a boy likes dancing,he can dance and if a girl likes boxing,she can practice.The parents must support them!

    For me, it depends what the person likes.

    I think there's no difference if a guy likes dancing and a girl likes boxing. There's no account for taste! Parents should let their children choose what they want to do. If they don't, I think they are worried about what the people or the family will say. They may feel embarrassed.

    I think, if she likes no matter, some parents don't like it because there are a lot of prejudice in the world it's my opinion. No, there are some sports that require strength and sixe,flexibility and grace. But everyone can practice.
