That is it. It is unfair that the womens weight does not increase after high school.

Why is it unfair? It's not like the women are competing against themen.

Then why does the mens wieght have to change. They do not compete against each other. There is a huge differnce in throwing a 1.6k disc and a 2k disc. Women can just muscle the light weights out there.
