Name some of the women.....
There are millions of women who are taller, stronger, and faster than the shortest, weakest, and slowest male professional athletes. Most of those women are not in professional sports, and those that are are in women's leagues.
Let's talk about the WNBA. The average height of a WNBA player is 5 feet 11.5 inches. There have been many NBA players who are shorter than that. Right now, there are nine NBA players 5 foot 11 or shorter. And if you're familiar with NBA history, you'll know about Mugsy Bogues, who was 5 foot 3 and had a long NBA career.
You want 'em taller? Fine. TEN WNBA players, current and retired, are over 6 foot 6. I'm not going to list them all; you can Google it.
So this explodes your argument into little bitty pieces. I'm sure you're poised to bleat that these tall women are rare; that they're anomalies. Well, so what? Didn't I say that SOME women are capable of competing in men's sports? Oh, and many of those women outweighed their equal-sized male counterparts.
So why not allow women to compete? Yeah, only a few would make it. But only a few people make it into professional sports anyway.
