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.

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.

I worked with a company in LA for a while, and a pretty clever guy (no, for real - he was kind of the opposite of stupid) once argued against me when I said, listen, you have all those flat roofs, I mean, the major part of El Segundo is like that, and you have sun going crazy 12 month a year, plus you need a ton of electricity for all the ACs, why the heck don’t you put solar everywhere…

And he was „nah I don’t think it will pay off… I mean you need to replace them after 20 years or so, don’t you…“

Me, looking at my measly 900W solar array in Germany, providing for much of my basic electricity needs while it’s pretty dark here like 80% of the year o.O

Well, that was 10 years ago. I hear things have changed…
