Polar distribution of IQ

The average ends up about the same, but men are more represented at the poles and women are more represented in the middle

They win in that because so few people do it in general…


Ive seen arguments that women have an advantage at extreme distances because of bodyfat distribution. IDK how much merit that has. Ultra running is also a sport where people remain highly competitive into their fifties and sixties so the usual athletic parameters seem not to apply in general.

Gymnastics as far as competition goes, but I guess you mean literally head to head at the same time. Not sure that counts then.

Men and women do compete on an even basis in equestrian events.

I literally already laid out how it could happen. There's a girl on the US women's rugby team that's 6'1 200 lbs, was on a volleyball scholarship before converting to rugby and sprints the same speed as an average MLBer(27 ft/s). You have a girl with that frame lifting consistently from age 12-25 and she'll be just as strong as your typical major leaguer. An equivalent male lifting seriously will obviously be stronger, but your average MLBer isn't putting in that much work in the weight room. Add in the generational hand-eye coordination and the athleticism gap is pretty much closed for baseball. Now add in their dad being a college level coach that is dedicated to developing their potential as a baseball player from t-ball age and you're cooking

Also frick everyone, there are already women playing in international minor leagues.

2nd girl throws 86 MPH, that's faster than Moyer over his last decade

And there were women that played in the Negro leagues

Nothing that size, strength or speed are an advantage.

Are you insane?

There are countless women stronger than pro tennis players

There are also women faster than pro tennis players

Yet, you will never have a woman even top 500 in men’s tennis. The same goes for your dumbass baseball example

Do you really believe this? Most pro golfers put in work in the weight room these days, and you think the average MLBer isn't putting in that much work?

Men are stronger and faster. It’s biology, but it shouldn’t diminish appreciation for achievement by women in sports…

Dude, baseball is probably the sport where they have the least chance of competing against men. I mean they have zero chance in other sports too but you would probably have a better argument that one could "theoretically" be a short range football kicker, a hockey goalie or a point guard who shoots 90% free throws who could come into the game late when the other team has to foul. But there is nothing they could do on a baseball field.

If you are being serious this is maybe the worst take I’ve ever seen on this board, and that’s a high bar to clear
