> since women haven’t been allowed to compete in sports for thousands of years, what will happen to their bodies when they are allowed to compete? I am not sure I get it. Are you suggesting that the reason men dominate almost all sports is not due to their undoubtedly greater physical capacity, but due to some societal discrimination? Also, are your suggesting that evolution works such that appreciable biological differences show up in just a few thousand years?

Based on data, some sports are showing that women are becoming as competitive as men, within a very short timetable when they were able to compete. I’m making a statement based on data not a weak held opinion. My opinion that in some cases, I do believe that with time, women and men will compete at the same level. Will it be boxing, American football, or Rugby? Most likely not. Other sports, however, may converge on a unified field. With regard to biology, again based on the data, it seems that women and men are converging to a level playing field. Also, if you took the time to read both articles, I did try to have a balance view showing there are physiological superiorities in male athletes. In endurance sports, it seems fat and hemoglobin are the male superiority (less body fat + larger bodies and hemoglobin count). Question I pose is will this trend continue into eternity or will there be a time when such differences are mitigated via sports science?

  > Based on data, some sports are showing that women are becoming as competitive as men Which sport? I know that they can compete in shooting and some other dexterity based competitions, but other than that men outclass women in every sport I know. Men just have more energy and power per body mass in addition to having more body mass, so for everything where you have to move around yourself or something else men have a huge advantage.
