re: Average man vs. Ronda Rousey

The gorilla analogy doesn’t work.

For one, even on strength or speed, absolute peak female performance is greater than the random average male. The average joe isn’t coming close to an 11 sec 100m dash. The bench press record for women is in the range of 500 lbs. The women’s Olympic record for snatch for Rhonda’s weight class (63kg) is 117kg - or just north of 250lbs. The average guy on the street without training could not lift a bar that heavy over their head. So, there is in fact a fair bit of overlap between the far-right edge of the female performance bell curve and males in general - even some pretty athletic ones.

This only becomes laughable when liberals try to equate the extreme right edge of the male bell curve with the extreme right edge of the female one (I.e Serena vs a male pro, Rhonda v. Mayweather, etc..)

How close is Rhonda to peak female? That I don’t know.

Back to the gorilla analogy? Does the average guy have the instinct to go full-on animal instinct while participating in a voluntary fight? An animal that feels threatened isn’t analogous to a human engaging in a volunteer activity where they know “frick this” is an option.
