A healthy woman have 10 percentage points more body fat than an equally healthy man, and it isn't not available energy since the body will go into starvation mode as she gets close to 10% body fat. In essence this means that women carry 10% dead weight throughout their whole life, not a big deal in daily life but in competitions it will slow you down by about 10% given that everything else is equal.
