Women have physical disadvantages and advantages, so some sports would result in women doing better probably, and others would result in them being worse. At least giving them a chance would be better then only being able to particpate in sports which are largely overshadowed by the male counterparts.

Is it not the opposite though? Their chances of participating in women only sports are significantly higher than in unisex sports. Furthermore while the mens version of sports typically is the more popular that doesn't mean that the womens version can't grow, so that's another chance you'd be taking away from them. Then there's the fact that the best players are typically the most succesful and well known. While the stars in many womens sports may not be as well known and succesful as their male counterparts they do still achieve success and fame. In many sports that would be very difficult if not impossible for them to actually be the best at it. So yet another chance that they would lose.

And out of interest, do you have any example of sports that women have a physical advantage in?

OK, it was some studies that I saw saying that women had a higher pain tolerance and a quicker reaction time, but now doing some more research I've come across conflicting reports, so I don't know which is true.
