I go hard in the paint... Or maybe not

So I haven't posted in a while because I have been busy with life and stuff.  One of the things I've been busy with is gym class.  It is a lot of fun we play badminton and handball and it is always a blast.  This wasn't a problem with badminton because it is a non-contact sport, but with handball you have to worry about running in to people and stuff.

First let me say that the last time I had gym class was in the 9th grade and we were also playing badminton.  Since then and a long time before my only sports experience was in contact sports were you are trained and encouraged to, hustle or as I like to say, 'go hard'.  So when placed in a situation where I have been trained to go hard, what can compel me to 'go soft'?  Certainly not someone of the opposite sex.  Right?

I am a feminist.  Feminism at its core -- I think -- is not treating women, or men, differently because of their gender.  My reasoning tells me that when it comes to sports that it should be no different.  When we are placed in the same arena then we are equals right?  Well, according to all my classmates, no.  So for the time being I will be taking it easy in gym class.

What do you kind folks think about this?  Should I go hard in the paint and push it to the limit or should I chill out a bit?  How does feminism relate to all of this?
