In a male vs female fight, would legal groin strikes help women?

Yes, it will help females win

No, it wouldn’t change, males still have the advantage

Depends, by using the word “legal” it seems that you are imagining some sort of organized event like combat sports. If ONLY groin strikes are “legal”, women will definitely have an advantage. But if all sensitive areas are on the table, punching women in the tits tends to have a very similar effect on them as groin strikes on a man.
However, assuming it’s an organized sporting event, we have to assume some other things; like training and preparation. Wearing a cup and training to avoid groin strikes and defend them where unavoidable, letting women attack the groin doesn’t guarantee victory. A well trained and skilled male fighter will still absolutely maul a female fighter even if he’s giving up two to three weight classes.
Men are stronger, faster, denser and more capable fighters because of eons of evolutionary biology. Men have always fought. The ones who sucked at it died, and weren’t usually selected for mating before they died, because they sucked at fighting. Generations of such selective breeding and violence being a fact of life for every living creature on the planet has made not just men, but most males of most species more capable fighters than their females counterparts. Understanding that simple fact is neither ignorant nor hateful. It’s just a fact that seems to hurt some people’s feelings. Ell oh ell!
That said, if you’re talking about a street fight or self defense scenario, groin strikes give women a significant advantage. Most self defense courses targeted at women in particular teach their students to go for the groin early, often and with all the force they can muster. Then run when the attacker is writhing in pain. Attack the groin and eyes immediately, and a woman’s chances of surviving a violent encounter with a man increase significantly. But they still have to train; especially for the eyes. It takes a special… something to be willing and able to gouge someone’s eyeballs out of their sockets. Super effective though! Ell oh ell!

If a guy fights a girl he's a coward. And that's coming from someone who has been attacked by girls.

When you say "legal" groin strikes, I guess you're talking about an organized fight for sport where the sanctioning body has allowed groin strikes. In that case all the guy has to do is wear a cup and a lot of the risk is mitigated.

Outside of a ring with a referee, groin strikes can be effective but they probably won't put an opponent with adrenaline pumping through his veins down. Or someone who is high. Or a mental patient.

It could help, but guys would expect it too and I'm sure they won't allow it 😅

Your answers don't make sense. Something can help but not enough to take away the strength advantage.

I should have put that as a third option

It's you, again?

It would help but wouldn't be a decisive factor
