Multiple orgasms.

They score where it's actually something to be proud of.

Based upon what I have observed and heard, when a woman or girl attempts to join a male-dominated chess club, there's usually not much of a sense of empathy shown to welcome her.



Duchess - Clearly you have some severe reading comprehension issues. The few females we managed to attract to our club were shown far courtesy than their male counterparts. Every possible financial incentive was given, extreme patience was shown when these ladies talked, and laughed out loud during tournaments, and extreme care was taken to make them feel accepted and comfortable. You accuse my chess club of sexism without knowing or observing them. It is YOU who are sexist Duchess.

gymnastics:

Larisa Latynina has the most gold and total medals in gymnastics, for anyone male or female.

In fact, she held the record for most Olympic medals overall (male or female) for 48 years.

Funny how you pick something subjective and the only other competition are females.

Compare direct numbers by objective numbers.

Perhaps the fastest olympic times?

Your attempt was pathetic.

Gabriele Reinsch currently holds the Olympic world record for longest discuss throw, for anyone male or female.

P.S.: your sexism is pathetic.

Do women throw the same weight discus?

This is from Wiki

The men's discus is a heavy lenticular disc with a weight of 2 kilograms (4.4 lb) and diameter of 22 centimetres (8.7 in), the women's discus has a weight of 1 kilogram (2.2 lb) and diameter of 18 centimetres (7.1 in).


Funny how they seem to consistantly fudge the details which confuses simpletons.

No, it's two pounds lighter. The men's world record holder is 50 pounds heavier.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beryl_Burton#Record-breaker

Beryl Burton set a world record for distance in a 12-hour cycling period, which exceeded the men's. And no, there were no shorter or "easier" paths.

What percentage of the population does ultra marathons?

If you are going to find females setting records, that would be where to look.

Females are only about 10 percent inferior to men, so with smaller numbers a top woman could excel.

It would be like putting a wnba player on the court with a bunch of guys on Saturday. Put her on the court in the NBA and you would see a different result.

Put D in our local chess club she'd wipe the floor.

Pearl diving.
Marksmenship.
Gymnastics.
Ice-skating (single skate back-flip: men can't do it... so the move got banned).

I don't know much about marksmanship, but from the olympic numbers it seems men do better.

Pearl diving is dead, no women do it anymore.

I've already explained why gymnastics is not comparable.

I find it funny how people here can actually try to claim that women are a match for men physically.

If this were true, then rhe military would not need to have lower standards for women when it comes to things like physical fitness tests.

But hey, if this would mean women would actually have to pass the same requirements, then sure, women are equal to men in athletics.

You can do away with title 9 as well.
