Most women just can't compete at the same level as men.

Put up random sample of Jewish people vs a random sample of black people in sports... isn't it the same?

 

 

I'd argue no... not all that the same. The difference between Jewish males and black males will be so that that the black people have a higher chance of longer leg-muscles.

Now, the difference between musclebuild of men and women, totally different. Just look at world-records for most major sports on the same distances/weights. Men tend to have better scores then women in practicly all disciplines.

I can make it a bit more close to home aswell. Remember P.E. back in Junior high/High school? When you had mixed sportteams, what gender scored most points. and where the most fanatic?

There were two women in my PE class who could compete just as well as any guy could.

The only difference between men and women is that men are more likely to be bigger.  Which is the same when it comes to the difference between Black people and Jewish people.  (When dealing with sports qualifications.)

A man and a women with equal muscle mass have equal strength.

I'd say a lot of reason women's records are lower then men's is because men are more encouraged to do things like sports.

If two girls managed to compete well, chapeau. But reality is, if a team has to be assembled for a big match, the coach will pick out players that have the most chance of winning. And generally speaking, men have the biggest chance because, as you said they have a larger chance of being bigger.

And then still, men are more likely, due to build and genetics to acquire a better body for their respective sport. So even if you motivate a bunch of women and an equal amount of men to train for their sport and let participation depend on their chances of winning, men will make up the majority, if not all of the team as it's much more likely that they are more capable of winning.
