It's not clear what the exact rule change was back in 2006. If no penalty for refusing man v. man, then it is not unfair to say no penalty for woman v. man.
The treatment is equal to both sexes.
But, her contention is that the penalties were removed as a result of her competition...meaning that a woman changed the game, so the rules had to be changed.
That is unfair.
A more complete story is here.
From this one article, I tend to believe that the removal of the "avoidance rule" was a direct reaction to her being a woman. That Raleigh created a co-ed competition is barely relevant. She clearly has the skill level to compete with the men and win. The whole idea of classes is to pit competitors against opponents with similar chances of winnning.

So unless you think everyone, men and women, should compete together all the time in all sports, I don't see it being viable to do this.

Now the real issue here is a frivolous lawsuit about a sport(a game) something that is supposed to be fun. Not a afternoon in the county courtroom. I have a real problem with people tying up the courts with these types of frivolous lawsuits.
Because this isn't discrimination, it boys that don't want to get their a***s kick by a girl. Man-up and play her no holds barred. If you win great .If she wins,dude you just got your ass kick by a skirt.

It is not about whether she gets to be in the men's league (they formed a coed league too which now confuses that issue). It's about whether the league has been juggling the rules to prevent her doing as well as she could, and whether men are refusing to play her because she is a woman.
Whether those things are true should be determined in the lawsuit, that's what juries are for.
It looks to me like they changed the rules twice in bad faith, and that some of the men did indeed refuse to play her because of prejudice.
The wording of the question throws folks off a bit. It's not exactly about forcing men to play her. If you are in a league and trying to win the championship etc, you are obliged to play your opponents according to the rules of the game. You shouldn't be able to avoid an opponent for frivolous reasons.

So far, this is the most direct response to this specific question.
