Female athletes play in minor leagues where the competition is much easier. Like the paralympics. Only an idiot takes female athletes seriously.

Let's have senior olympics open only to those over 50. And then super-senior olympics for those over 70. And we need an amputee olympics and a blind olympics too.

One that I've only heard about from newspaper stories decades ago is Babe Zaharias.

Babe Didrikson Zaharias is arguably the greatest female athlete of all-time. She took up golf after years playing other sports, but quickly became one of the best ever in that sport, too.​

Another one was 3 time gold medalist Wilma Rudolph, who's story was famous during the 60's, she overcame childhood polio.

After five years of treatment, Wilma one day stunned her doctors when she removed her leg braces and walked by herself. Soon she was joining her brothers and sisters in basketball games in the Rudolph backyard and running street races against other children her age. "By the time I was 12," she told the Chicago Tribune, "I was challenging every boy in our neighborhood at running, jumping, everything."​

And yet neither of them could beat the top men. Women sports is minor league. THINK
