I know plenty of women that can do the strength and endurance that men can - two of which do Iron Man competitions. It's the battle for the finish, or toe to toe fight that pushes your will to live in a that-shit-will-kill-you situation.

Notice how women that crash out of a sport are usually done with their racing career whereas men can get back into it easier [Jessica Zaluski and Melissa Paris as examples]? Mind fuck is a bigger factor for women than men.

Competing in Iron Man competitions is fine, but what are their times like compared to the men? The strength and endurance thing makes me think their times are slower than men who place similarly to the women you are talking about (say 50th place among men vs. 50th place among women).

The strength and endurance argument doesn't mean they can't finish a race. Obviously that isn't the case. It does mean that a comparably skilled woman probably isn't going to be able to maintain the same pace over the course of a race as a man.

I don't discount your theory, but I do think that strength and endurance differences play a part.

No, I do agree that strength and endurance play a part. There is no disputing that men are physically stronger than women. Well, on average anyway...

I just believe in elbow to elbow competitions, men have more mental stamina than women do. It isn't that women don't have the drive to do it - we do. Hell, tell a woman she can't do something, sometime

In the past, I discounted "girl brain" as a factor. I was one of those women that didn't have PMS, emotional mood swings and the like. Then, I experienced it... let me tell you, there are things I didn't want to know. If that is what "normal" women go through every month, I know why they are batshit crazy. All it takes is something to make those voices speak up in their heads - career over.

To all the women in the world:
You can't blow me.

The military has studied the shit out of these questions. Physically, mentally, emotionally.

When it comes to sports it is all about apples to apples. When it is a strength and endurance event, guys have the natural edge, thanks testosterone.

When the sport isnt so focused on all out physical ability th woman's mind seems to hit a wall first and You got to love that they have the sense to question why
wether or not to kill themselves to finish one position higher.

Our male brain says winning gets us laid, so there never is apoint where we consider letting up...

I've never cared about getting laid. I just want to beat the other guy. Preferably so badly he contemplates suicide.
