Do you think if F and M athletes were trained the same they’d be competitive?

[OddBeMe]

Or trained the same, same funding, at their anatomically optimum way

Yes

No

Other

[RebelinSteel]

No, there is a thing called aptitude. Even if you took two males from say age 5 and trained them the same, one would be better than the other and in some sports there would be a marked difference between the two. Each has different natural abilities and will pick things up quicker learn quicker, their bodies are different.

now take a guy and girl and do the same thing, the guy has a completely different body type and will muscle up, develop quicker and faster. The physical structure of a guy is completely different to a girl, muscle development, bone density etc.

[Berethor]

Men are stronger and faster than women, both at base and when it comes to potential.

[StarWarGirl]

No as a male and female anatomy is naturally different, they are given specific body type specific body structure for their specific tasks. Like womans are given wider pelvics because of holding baby and males got wider chest for stronger upper body strength.

Giving one kind of training to both may train to some body upto certain level but it can't surpass the extra head start one gender has given naturally. It's not possible.

[Kelley1]

Of course not. Men are stronger, quicker, faster, and bigger. To the extent that elegance and flexibility would be an advantage, women have that advantage.

They are already using the best training methods because out of the thousands of brilliant coached, if, with current technology, there is a better method some coach would have found it, and because that method would produced more winners all other coaches would be copying it.

[Ashley1993]

Nope
If women were as good as men , there won't be gender divisions!

Men are just physically better... not rocket science
Professional men would humiliate any woman in the sport.. whether she's world's best in female division or not

[NathanDavis]

no, that's not how it works...

even two men, or two women... going after the same sport and the same position... could need different trainings, according to their different capabilities

[Sevenpointfive]

i dunno. taylor swift took the chiefs to the super bowl?

[OddBeMe]

Damn she’s powerful. Until they break up and she turns back time to change it.

[Sevenpointfive]

she's a real Cherilyn Sarkisian that one ; D

[OddBeMe]

I literally had to look that bitch up. Like Madonna and all the other one name bitches. Lol

[Sevenpointfive]

LOLOL blows your mind right

[OddBeMe]

I don’t even know their real names. Elton John, you’d think Elvis was a fake name but apparently not.

[Sevenpointfive]

what would be your fake name? once you got to hollywood.

[OddBeMe]

Well Max Power was taken by Homer.

Tad Richman. With a sweater around shoulders.

[Sevenpointfive]

i think i'd be jew sipowitz

[msc545]

Virtually any sport male athletes will always do better than females. Male athletes include trans females if they still have XY chromosomes which all of them do. There are only two genders.

[Zestyassmf1997]

No. But I’d be curious as to what the result would be.

[exitseven]

No, men an women are biologically different.

[OddBeMe]

So are men from each other. Not denying men are average bigger. But difference could be more slight than we think.

[exitseven]

Yes, there are many girls I know that could beat up some guys

[OddBeMe]

I guess that’s my point. If there’s just a 5-10% average difference between M and F, what’s the difference in different sized males?

[spartan55]

No. No. No. No. No...

[spartan55]

Did you see when the USA Women's National Team (that won the World Cup) LOST to a high school boy's team? That's the difference.

[Redstang88]

You can’t possibly be that stupid

[OddBeMe]

Why wouldn’t we be able to get closer athletes if both genders were trained for the sport for years? Men are only 10-15% larger. I think society makes girls more fragile than they could be.

You go one on one with a female mma.

[Berethor]

He don't need to go with a female mma, she need with a male mma.

[Redstang88]

MAYBE the difference is only 10-15% for the average couch potato desk jockey, but I still call BS on that. Thats ignoring men’s larger bone structure and the difference in hormones that allow for much more muscle growth
Sure you could probably have a pretty level playing field for badminton or synchronized swimming, but intensely physical sports were just too different

[OddBeMe]

I don’t disagree. But even in male sports, there are wider differences between ahtlete’s bodies. And the smaller guy wins. Look at Cassius Clay.

[Redstang88]

“The smaller guy wins”? Umm Muhammad Ali was like 6’3 240
Suit up on a football or rugby field and say that line again lol

[OddBeMe]

And Sonny Listons fists famously measured 15 inches each. And was beaten by Ali.

[Ms_Facesitter]

Competitive with their own gender :p

[DreamLife7]
