You mean thats why his thinking is screwed or why men are better at all sports except long distance swimming?

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.

Men are better equiped to perform at the highest level in any of the sports you just named.
"you could even build a solid argument".
I did.
I even gave you studies to look up, why woman are in a dissadvantage compared to men... except long distance swimming :)

Men are better at literally every sport you just mentioned. You're kind of proving yourself wrong.
Gororar t1_ixhmscv wrote
what do you mean with "screwed"?
Biological Men and Biological Female Brains/Bodies just work different.
For example: Men on average have almost double the amount of upper body strenght compared to woman.
I dont understand what exactly is so confusing for you. Iam giving you all the links to look up on the topic to educate yourself. But you just seem a bit angry about it.
