The distinct biological differences they do have tend to make them stronger, etc, but it does not make them more *able* to be athletic. A woman can train, get in her peak physical condition and smoke the majority of men who are sitting on their couches. You get the advantages by training, not by being born. Unless you're saying a woman can't train to become stronger than a man, then we don't disagree.
Ok. No one here disagrees with your last sentence.
But I do disagree with you saying men don't have an advantage from being male. As you said, men are bigger, stronger, faster, have more testosterone, more muscle mass, bone density, etc etc. That doesn't mean all men in the world are better than all women in the world at everything. But it does mean that from the nature of being male it gives them an automatic advantage. Not a guarantee. An advantage.
Of course, training also gives you an advantage. And a woman can train her ass off and be better than the guy who eats junk food and sits on the couch all day.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
