How big does X need to be to give the women at least a 50% chance of victory?

2-3 to one is where it gets iffy, there are a lot of places where you're going down if you get hit there, whether you're an average joe or Mike Tyson.

Over 40.

Normal randomly selected non-sociopathic people in general would typically not fight each other like that unless given very good reasons not stated in the op so youd need a truly massive number of women to compensate for the ones whod balk at participating in senseless violence like this.

Why are we assuming that only women need to compensate for this?

Im not but assuming each side would still at least be willing to defend themselves if attacked by particular aggressors because that strikes me as normal, reasonable, sane behavior. Trying to actively take out everyone of the opposite gender absent a particularly compelling motive is not. A good number may even assist in helping to take out the sociopaths on their own side. So the result would generally be a draw as all the men nor all the women would ever get eliminated.

I just assume all of these are under Mercs rules where they are ready to fight and reasonably interested in cooperating with their teammates

I am now picturing this as a Smash Bros Multi Man Melee.

Nah all you need is one person on either side who dares to throw the first punch and watch what happens.
