Men are also better than women at Motorcar Racing - that doesn't mean I think they shouldn't do it, or that they should be excluded. Such a concept is valid in sports because in the majority of the time Women will not be able to reach the level that allows them to compete directly against men; however in something like combat it isn't about who is "better" than who in determining who should serve on the front line. It is about getting people who are willing to do service for their Country, training them, and sending them into conflict zones. Nevertheless it is a fact that women will have a higher change of casualty in war zones due to differences in physical ability.
FYI Tennis is a sexist sport, I can't stand it. Yes women should play the same number of sets as men - and the scorer should learn to count.
I still think it's a sweeping generalization to say "men are better at sports" than women, but I agree with your general sentiment and also the fact that for the most part women don't compete at the same level men do (or even on the same stage). I think there's more factors for the latter though than simply that they're not as able/capable, which seems to be what you're insinuating when you say "men are better at motor-racing" for example, which is why I don't think it's all that clever to say so.
