Alright, I'll bite, and keep politics out of it.
You are correct. It's not a political thread. It's an "avoidance of reality" topic. It has long been known and even scientifically proven and documented that men, boys, are simply biologically stronger, and bigger from a muscular standpoint. Broad strokes here. Of course there will be exceptions but they are generally few. It has nothing to do with mentality, sexism, ego, pride, etc.... It's simply a matter of force and physics.
If you put a bulldozer up against a match house - the bulldozer is going to win. Force / Physics.
You know how they have bullfrog races? It would be like inserting a Cheetah into that race and honestly expecting the bullfrog to have 1/2 a chance. You also know in sports how it's generally considered "bad form" to not give it your absolute best because anything less would be disrespectful to your opponent???? I believe that's where the forfeiting comes into play. The ones who forfeit KNOW without question that they will absolutely obliterate a female - (or insert a small male boy / child if it helps to take sexism out of it) - and they know they could very easily literally kill / murder that person..... and they refuse to do it because, IMHO, they were raised correctly. Not as a male or female - has nothing to do with it, but rather as a very simple lesson of Mercy / and having the mental toughness to KNOW it's mercy, and not a cop out to forfeit.
That's the long answer. The short answer is : male vs female in (almost) any physical sport is madness. Literally, delusional madness and I seriously question the mental make up of those who engage in it seriously. We're not talking about a friendly basketball game at the rec center. Just my opinion.
