So you just noticed the difference between men and women during the Olympics? yes goku when pushed to the absolute maximum women do have an advantage over men in some areas and in others men have an absolute advantage over women but in the general course of things goku I know there are lots of women that are superior to me and you in virtually all areas. I noticed quite a few of them in the Olympics, they could out swim me or you, out run me or you, out jump me or you, and lift more than me or you in all areas of competition. Did this bother you goku? Give it a rest, in the real world there is no reason women who are capable cannot do anything a man can do or the reverse for that matter.

Re: man and woman

Even the most dedicated of feminists won't deny the fact that men, in general, are taller and physically stronger than women. Women who have a higher testosterone level than the average, also seem to grow into bigger physical proportions than their fellow females. There is no doubt about that, and there's no problem regarding that from the feminists. That's why sports teams are still separated between the sexes.

What about mentally? Who is stronger? Any idea?

Some say women is tougher on tollerating pain.
Like giving birth to a child is one of the pain we man cannot bear (or feel).
I don't know, unless I got a chance to really experience it.
But I watch a lot of kung fu movies, ok, let's go back to real life, boxing, and I see many men can fight to dead. How about that?

Re: man and woman

I heard somewhere that women are better in stamina tests than men. If so, it should show up in running records - so I went looking Track & field records

Code:
distance         men          women     ratio
100m             9.72         10.49     1.079
200m            19.32         21.34     1.105
400m            43.18         47.60     1.102
800m         01:41.10      01:53.30     1.120
1000m        02:12.00      02:29.00     1.129
1500m        03:26.00      03:50.50     1.119
Mile         03:43.10      04:12.60     1.132
2000m        04:44.80      05:25.40     1.142
3000m        07:20.70      08:06.10     1.103
5000m        12:37.40      14:11.20     1.124
10000m       26:17.50      29:31.80     1.123
20000m       56:26.00    1:05:26.60     1.160
25000m     1:13:55.80    1:27:05.90     1.178
30000m     1:29:18.80    1:45:50.00     1.185
I was wrong: the women are closer to the men's times on shorter distances, with the ratio climbing as the distance gets longer.

But when we look at road racing, it's the other way around - the longer the race, the closer the women's record is to the men's:

Code:
distance         men          women     ratio
10km             27:02       30:21      1.123
15km             41:29       46:55      1.131
20km             55:31       62:57      1.134
Half-Marathon    58:33       66:25      1.134
25km          01:12:45    01:22:13      1.130
30km          01:28:36    01:38:49      1.115
Marathon      02:04:26    02:15:25      1.088
100km         06:13:33    06:33:11      1.053
Are the trends pure coincidence? If not, can anyone figure out what's happening?

Well, that would seem to indicate that women are smarter than men

Honestly, why you guys get such an inferiority complex just because you can't do stuff like this:
