“In pretty much all sports” That tells me all I need to know about your views on the subject.

Like, obviously in some sports that’d matter, but saying it’s 99% all the time is ludicrous.

I mean, a professional male athlete will have an advantage over a professional female athlete because there’s no skill gap that makes up for the physical differences. NBA players would beat WNBA players one on one, Djokivic would beat both Serena and Venus, a woman couldn’t play in the NFL unless she kicked or punted etc and this isn’t because women aren’t great athletes in their own right and don’t deserve more recognition, just a simple observation

That’s largely true. But the specificity of my argument is important. In many weapon-based combat sports, strength is largely a non-factor. It’s primarily a skill-based competition. There’s a reason why fencing is commonly a unisex competition.

I read combat sports as like boxing and MMA
