Why are male and female sports separate?

Question

Why are male and female sports separate?

Answer 1

Men and women are generally not physically equal. On average, men are naturally bigger and more muscular, so it wouldn't exactly be a fair game if a 180 lb man competes against a 120 lb woman. Of course the man would have an advantage from more muscle mass and strength.

Of course, if you take an average guy and have him compete in any sport against a professional female athlete, she'll kick his butt. But apples to apples, pros to pros, men always have the physical advantage.

Answer 2

Males can be more aggressive.  Females CAN play male sports, if they wish to.  But for some things, it's also a little inappropriate.  And it's a more fair competition for same s*x sports, rather than mixed.

Answer 3

male athletes are generally faster than female athletes. it's only fair that they race seperately.  

Answer 4

cuz guys are better then girls in everything

*omg im so gonna get hunted down for saying that*
