Because they're too busy oiling their feet for you

No upper body strength, lack of a drive to win because it involves fairly beating others, rather than being catty and spreading gossip.

Not lately

One of them even said a male amateur would destroy them, and she is 100% correct.

When you include every living tennis player, regardless of gender, I don't think either of them break top 500 in their prime. Perhaps not even top 1000.

To be fair, women's soccer can be great to watch, especially if you want to watch constant advances and shots towards the net, without the constant keep away tactic.

Plenty of female Olympic athletes out there that will embarrass you even more than you've already embarrassed yourself by making this topic.

I understand you are trying to make a joke, but in the few sports where that is different it is actually the men that do those.

not really any incentive to be good at sports, think of what top 10 female basketball player entails as oppsed to top 10 male player status.
plus most sports wher made with male phyiscality in mind, im sure a sport made from the ground up with girls in mind exists and men are terrible at it and have no incentive to get anywhere in it.

Because biologically they are different than males with one key difference being lack of testosterone which results in increased muscle and bone mass.

Sports without physical prowess considered. And even then men are more driven and the top competitors are always obsessive.

Im not talking about a sport without phys which implies an even field, im talking about a sport witch leans into more a womans body's capabilities more than a mans to make it more female biased as something like football is male biased

Gymnastics is one of those female eccentric sports. Btw here's a fun fact, cheerleading was actually made for males at one time, it only became female dominated after the 1930's.

Men are stronger, both in absolute and relative terms. If you want a competition of physical ability, men will always dominate.

That's only if strength is a very big determining factor. It's not always the case, just a lot of them. There's more to "physical ability" than raw strength and any athlete can tell you that.

And that is down to technique, which is down to dedication, and men are prone to more obsessive behaviours. Men will win on strength and skill physically. Women are better in aesthetic matters but no sport bans men from having female choreographers.

it's more the fact that the video points to a "women shouldn't play soccer because they're inferior at everything physical" conclusion, ok?

obviously the physical differences are there, but that's nature, ok?

no need to be a dick about it. what was the point of that video except to say "men are superior and fuck you if you want to do things"

the video should be titled, "i'm insecure, so i'm going to make others feel bad to compensate, ok?"

I'm pretty sure all professional athletes are pretty good.

Yes. Because finding the 0.1% of women on Earth that can actually beat an average male in 1 specific sport does not prove his point.

Lol white knight.

Tc, to answer your question, it's because most of them are too busy looking at theit cellphones instead of bettering themselves. And if you don't respect their lack of anything, they'll just cry that you're shaming them and demand that society ostracize you for being a hater. See fat shamers. See slut shamers. See anything shamers.

It's far easier to demand that the whole of society respect you than you put the effort to improve yourself.

I think the point was to point out that men and women aren't equal in all respects, but we choose to treat women equally anyway because we aren't an oppressive patriarchal hive mind. It's not fair to shit on men when we make concessions just so women can have equal experiences in life.

they don't. they just don't have as much physical power as men. top peak men will always beat top peak women in most sports. one sport I think they could intermingle in maybe is baseball. but most sports it wouldn't be fair.

Gymnastics
Fencing / lightweight swordplay
Ultra long distance swimming / cold water swimming
Ultramarathon distance running
Synchronized swimming
Equestrian events
Figure skating

Things where endurance and agility serve you much better than strength or size ever could

Figure skating

Men score way higher on figure skating scores than women. Men can do quads and get 1.5x the score of women.

Basically, figure skating is actually a perfect example of the opposite of what you're arguing, incredibly enough! If men and women were scored together, no woman would make the top 10. At the Olympics, to podium as a male, you needed over 305, while as a female, you needed 230.

Oh ok so does that invalidate the other 9 suggestions?

Some of those sports men and women did/do compete together at the Olympics with women still winning.

When sports are created, designed, played, and judged by men for men then yes women won't compete at the highest levels. The game is rigged. They're not supposed to.

We need more sports that don't just look at raw strength. Because we're all smart enough to know that being big and strong isn't what's best for every sport.

It gets me that even in e-sports, male teams dominate female teams.

Maybe that's just because the men who play e-sports tend to have nothing else going for them and therefore more time to practice. I have no idea whether that's true; it's just a thought.

Im so glad knowing this topic wont get deleted

I think we should blame the sports instead.

I mean a woman athlete will usually lose to a male of the same sport... but they'd wreck the basement dwellers that post here

This topic could have been done a lot better because there is a question to be asked in general about women just not being prominent in the vast majority of competitions. Even video games is heavily dominated by men to the point that no top female players really exist. At best you get something like professional mediocre players. It begs the question if the lack of women at high levels of skill is more due to a lack of interest than an lack of ability even in non-strength related sports.

Gaming is a whole other thing.

I for one really hated when I got to online gaming and voice chat. People got immediately shitty. Lost track of how often i was told I was going to be raped, had people threaten to stalk and murder me, and now just deal with general clinger creeps every in basic shit like StarCraft.

The attention you get being a woman gaming sucks and I don't blame any women for not wanting to be subject to or participate in gaming culture. Even legit twitch streamers that don't suck at playing get accused of just being attention whores. Women aren't allowed to enjoy gaming publicly without some nasty treatment. Gaming gatekeepers

Not to diminish your negative experience in video games but its kind of terrible for anyone involved. Rape talk wasn't limited to just women. Video game trash talk is a whole new level of depravity really. Which is basically to say that we all experienced pretty terrible trash talking but it didn't stop plenty of men from playing anyway.
