Good Grief!!

Is there no peace?  Politically Correct Sumo?  I
shudder to think of it.

I try to be as politically correct as my age and 
cultural biases allow, but women in Sumo - the Kyokai
would be out of its mind!!

Plus, there are very good Shinto reasons and customs for
not having women on the Dohyo.  The Shintoists and probably
the Rightists would riot!!  Abe-san, would you care to 
elaborate those reasons?  You're probably better qualified
than I.

Someone please tell me it's not true!!!???
Sorry, All, I'm so sick of this P.C. nonsense
occasionally I lose my perspective.
