Personally I think not having karma limits is nice currently! I understand why they were used but grinding karma as a lurker on reddit was frustrating.

Thanks, done a little googling, I'm not very au fait with the subject

I found this article that reinforces most of what you say, but also makes the comment:

Many of the limits for women's sport will be determined by broader cultural change. That much was revealed by a remarkable study of throwing by boys and girls across the world. Aboriginal Australian girls threw the ball harder than those from anywhere else, and the gap with boys was smaller. One can infer that the way girls are raised elsewhere in the world impedes their physical development, and that a considerable portion of girls' athletic inferiority elsewhere in the world owes to culture, not biology.
