Men and women have different potential. A woman can put in the same work in the same facility and not reach the level of a man. There's nothing she can do about

People from different climates/backgrounds have different advantages/disadvantages in life, but on average their potential is the same. A Jamaican team could become the best bobsledders in the world if they spent enough time/money/effort on it, though I do admit they are heavily disadvantaged.
- sushid 9y agoTo play the devil's advocate, if you extend the argument the parent commenter makes, you could say that a Canadian sprinter has a lower potential because the ______ ethnic sprinter has a higher percentage of faster-twitch muscle due to genetics. The Canadian sprinter could work as hard has he can but never reach the theoretical limit of the _____ ethnic sprinter. The same argument can be made for VO2 max, armspan, leg stride, etc. Note that I'm not actually advocating for a combined male/female competition nor a split based on genetic potentials.
- paulddraper 9y agoThe Jamaican bobsled team was the source for the movie Cool Runnings. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamaica_national_bobsleigh_team#Beginnings https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamaica_national_bobsleigh_tea... (Unfortunately, in this case, they lost control during a qualifying run.)
