NBA, NFL, NBA etc. are all technically “co-ed”. Women just aren’t capable of competing with men at the highest levels

Manon Rhéaume, a woman, played in the NHL, displaying skill and competitive spirit at the highest level. It's less about capability and more about the societal structures and biases that have prevented women from competing at these levels.
serena and venus train just as hard as federer and nadal. This is an insult to female competitors.

In 1998, Karsten Braasch, ranked 203 in men's singles at the time, played a set each against Serena and Venus. They had claimed that they could beat any male player ranked outside the world's top 200. Braasch won both sets, demonstrating the physical differences that exist even when skill levels are comparable. Does this mean we need separate leagues or should we be finding ways to make competitions more inclusive?
