What a bout this?
In 1998, Serena and Venus Williams claimed they could beat any man ranked outside the top 200 on the menβs tour.
German player Karsten Braasch, then ranked No. 203, accepted the challenge.
After a night of drinking and smoking with little preparation, Braasch defeated Serena 6-1 and Venus 6-2 in straight sets.
The matches were not competitive. Braasch later said he never needed to use his first serve.
The Williams sisters are the greatest female athletes of all time. And they barely made Braasch break a sweat.
It wasn't because Braasch was very good. He wasn't.
But, as a male, he possesses biological advantages even the best female athletes can't compete against.
That's the very reason we established women's sports to begin with.
To even the playing field.
That shouldn't be controversial. And you shouldn't need a biology degree to understand it.
