2	Article Claims There Is Little Gender Differences And That Women Are Physically Superior There's more to performance than metabolism. "Women are more metabolically suited for endurance sports" and "men perform better in endurance sports" aren't necessarily contradictory. Namely, differences in heart size, hematocrit, and essential fat (even if you assume same weight, the woman would have 9% less lean tissue, or equating lean tissue, she'd have 9% more total mass) more than make up for the metabolic difference.	/r/MensRights	14/01/15 07:39 AM
4	Article Claims There Is Little Gender Differences And That Women Are Physically Superior No. I said they tend to burn a higher proportion of fat and tend to be less fatigueable at any relative intensity. And, just to point out the obvious: you can be more metabolically suited for something than someone else, but still not perform as well for other reasons. In this instance, smaller heart, lower hematocrit, and more essential fat end up nullifying the metabolic advantage.	/r/MensRights	14/01/15 06:52 AM
4	Article Claims There Is Little Gender Differences And That Women Are Physically Superior Where in the article did I say women have faster race times? I can't remember any. However, I can remember saying: "On the aerobic side of things, men tend to be slightly faster than women with equivalent levels of training" right in the introduction.	/r/MensRights	14/01/15 06:35 AM
6	Article Claims There Is Little Gender Differences And That Women Are Physically Superior Not broscience if you read closely. The key phrase was "at any relative intensity" not "any absolute intensity." And since men tend to have higher VO2maxes, a woman running at a higher relative intensity could still be moving slightly slower.	/r/MensRights	14/01/15 04:50 AM

3	Article Claims There Is Little Gender Differences And That Women Are Physically Superior no, in that case, men have the edge (on average) in just about everything. But I never contested that point.	/r/MensRights	14/01/15 12:47 AM
7	Article Claims There Is Little Gender Differences And That Women Are Physically Superior Like I said, controlling for LITERALLY everything.	/r/MensRights	14/01/15 12:26 AM
10	Article Claims There Is Little Gender Differences And That Women Are Physically Superior Just to spell it all out: Men TEND to be larger, stronger, and faster than women. Women TEND to be more metabolically healthy than men. When comparing two individuals (regardless of gender) size, body composition, and training status are the most important factors.	/r/MensRights	13/01/15 11:28 PM
5	Article Claims There Is Little Gender Differences And That Women Are Physically Superior Tbh, I think you're jumping the gun. This is going to be a 4 part series. A lot of that is slated for parts 2 and 3. This part was mainly about metabolic differences, which is why I just glazed over morphological differences.	/r/MensRights	13/01/15 11:09 PM
6	Article Claims There Is Little Gender Differences And That Women Are Physically Superior That would depend on a lot of factors. For aerobic performance, no. Because an extra 9% increase in lean mass would still mean a 9% increase in total mass (and the less weight you have to move over long distances, the better obviously). For strength, other factors come into play like height, limb lengths, torso thickness, and distribution of that muscle mass. But if you controlled for LITERALLY everything except for the extra 9% of essential fat (i.e. allowing an extra 9% total weight for lean m…	/r/MensRights	13/01/15 10:53 PM
7	Article Claims There Is Little Gender Differences And That Women Are Physically Superior "Most differences in strength are because men have larger muscles rather than because their muscles are more efficient per gram," Sounds a lot like "In terms of muscle mass differences, women tend to have about 2/3 the muscle mass men do, with a larger difference in upper body muscle mass (about 1/2) than lower body muscle mass (about 3/4). And although men tend to be stronger than women, that difference is explained almost entirely (97%) by muscle mass differences."	/r/MensRights	13/01/15 10:43 PM
8	Article Claims There Is Little Gender Differences And That Women Are Physically Superior "size is more important then gender" Yes. This is true. "when gender is the reason the size difference exist in the first place." When comparing groups, yes. When comparing individuals, no. Unless you're willing to argue that you're bigger, stronger, and faster than every woman on the planet.	/r/MensRights	13/01/15 10:31 PM
8	Article Claims There Is Little Gender Differences And That Women Are Physically Superior The main things I was addressing were myths regarding womens' strength and metabolic rate. I hear the idea get repeated a lot that womens' metabolisms are slower simply because they're women (i.e. when you match for size, body composition, and activity level, women still burn fewer calories), which is simply false. Similarly, the notion that womens' muscles are weaker (again, comparing not absolute strength, but strength per unit of muscle mass), which is also false. The point was not to say tha…	/r/MensRights	13/01/15 09:55 PM
11	Article Claims There Is Little Gender Differences And That Women Are Physically Superior direct quote: "In terms of muscle mass differences, women tend to have about 2/3 the muscle mass men do, with a larger difference in upper body muscle mass (about 1/2) than lower body muscle mass (about 3/4)." Again, comparing groups vs. comparing individuals.	/r/MensRights	13/01/15 09:44 PM
10	Article Claims There Is Little Gender Differences And That Women Are Physically Superior I'm pretty sure I'm not misreading it, seeing as I wrote it. I'm pretty sure we wouldn't disagree on any of the general trends that relate to sex as they affect performance. Men tend to be bigger, have more muscle mass (and are therefore stronger), have larger hearts and higher hematocrit (and therefore faster for endurance sports), and the top men outperform the top women in every sport that has both male and female divisions (in no small part because women have a greater amount of essential fa…	/r/MensRights	13/01/15 09:34 PM
11	Article Claims There Is Little Gender Differences And That Women Are Physically Superior Almost all of that was related to the second point above: "Nowhere did I say that women tend to be as strong as men. The claim was about strength per unit muscle mass. Which, again, is a very uncontroversial claim. It's basic muscle physiology. A bigger muscle is a stronger muscle, regardless of sex. Yes, men tend to have bigger muscles, so they tend to be stronger. The article does not contest that point at all." So if a ~130 pound man has the same amount of upper body mass as Jennifer Thompson…	/r/MensRights	13/01/15 08:33 PM
13	Article Claims There Is Little Gender Differences And That Women Are Physically Superior Everything is linked in the article, but here they are again: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9094870 http://jap.physiology.org/content/83/5/1581 http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2FBF00235103 http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00140138708969760#preview http://journal.frontiersin.org/Journal/10.3389/fendo.2014.00195/full http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23685313 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/259197540_Gender_difference_in_circulating_leptin_level_and_leptin_sensiti…	/r/MensRights	13/01/15 08:20 PM
41	Article Claims There Is Little Gender Differences And That Women Are Physically Superior Well, I can tell by the title the link was shared with that the point of the article was missed entirely. So, just a basic recap: Yes, there are strong trends for different size/strength/body composition between sexes. That's not even debateable. I'm not sure where the "article claims there is little gender differences" came from. It's acknowledged twice in the first few paragraphs. Nowhere did I say that women tend to be as strong as men. The claim was about strength per unit muscle mass. Which…	/r/MensRights	13/01/15 08:08 PM
