I remember one time in HS where a bored wrestler tried to tease us about wearing Speedos. I reminded him that he wore a women's swimsuit and groped other sweaty boys. :D
Find a tape of a good water polo match, and ask how girlie that is. (For that matter, how girlie were those women's Olympic matches? Yikes! :eek: )
Lastly, three words: Tarzan, Johnny Weissmuller

Both New York and Illinois have fall girl's season, and winter boy's season.
