Reply to comment by daiaomori in Olivia Pichardo is the first woman to make the roster of Division I baseball team by AmethystOrator

Not the person you're talking with, but assuming you're not a troll, women have an advantage in long distance swimming because their bodies are more buoyant than mens' due to higher body fat. This allows them to spend less energy staying afloat. The difference isn't enough to matter in short sprints, but becomes increasingly important the longer the race.

Seemingly, you miss the point.

The original argument was "men are genetically better prepared for every sport but long distance swimming" - which is complete nonsense.

The universal statement is (as most universal statements) pretty obviously counter-factual, the empiric basis is completely biased, and routing this "to genetics" is also even more obviously false.

This does not mean that men are not better than women in most sports. But the original argument is simply wrong. This also doesn't change by the fact that women are better at long distance swimming for a biological reason.

As a matter of fact, many men are less able to compete with some women, so we talk statistics, anyway.

Maybe you need a hug; you could ask someone like Dani Elle Speegle. Wish you luck, mate :)

And I mean come on you must recognize that your claim doesn’t make sense. „All Sports“. The German table soccer league was all-gender until very recently (no idea why they split it up in the first place but anyway).

What about fencing? Platform diving? Synchronized swimming?

Sure, „all sports“ and „only genetics“. You could even build a solid argument, but you don’t seem to have the basic concepts at hand how arguments work.

"you could even build a solid argument".

Men are better at literally every sport you just mentioned. You're kind of proving yourself wrong.
