It wouldn't have to be equal to be fair though; the woman is the one giving birth, so she understandably has more to recover from.That principle doesn't necessarily apply in terms of athletic martial arts, because some of them are designed to work by using your opponent's strength against them, and some are designed for people who are smaller, and so on. Yet the UFC doesn't allow women.
Absolute equality doesn't always lead to fairness, and being fair sometimes requires that things are unequal. We have separate sporting events for men and women for precisely this reason. Men already have the genetic advantage when it comes to strength; the unfair thing would be to have "absolute equality" and allow women to compete against men.
