Penis envy: Top academy U12 and U14 soccer girls winning local boys soccer leagues is paraded by the NYT as girls being better than boys at sports.

This is the current state of feminism. Selecting the best girls and making average boys barely into puberty compete with them to prove girls are better.

The reality is that there isn't a single age range when girls have higher records than boys: http://age-records.125mb.com

Edit: Slight correction: It seems that the 11 year old girls 100m dash record surpassed the boys record by 0.11s a couple of weeks ago, breaking the girls 12 year old record as well. The 11 year old girls 200m dash record belongs to the same girl, but is slower than the boys record by a whopping 0.83s. I don't believe this single outlier is enough to impact the general trend, but I guess I have to concede that at the age of 11 sex differences seem to be the smallest than in any other age range.

This is a professional club playing girls against local teams in Barcelona. Its essentially the best 14 year old girls in Spain against recreational boys teams.

Congrats, idk why this is worthy of publishing.

Yet another example of the media using 12-14 girls to compete with boys and claiming girls are better than boys when 12-14 is a once in a life time advantage that girls have on boys. For boys, puberty ranges on average 12-18 where as for girls its around 10-16. So for 12-14, boys have barely started puberty but girls have already been developing and are on average taller than the boys of same age.

Lets see how the girls perform when they grow up into adulthood and have to play against adult men.

Female players selected to be in

Barcelona’s fabled youth system.

playing

...in a league largely consisting of neighborhood teams from Catalonia.

Girls hit puberty earlier than boys, then boys pass them. The club is considering shared practice sessions of the over 16 group. Let's see the results of that experiment.

I hate feminism too, but I read the article, nowhere does it say girls are better at sports Than boys. Basically a few Spanish cities swapped their younger soccer leagues for the girls teams, and one of them dominated all the boys. It would make more sense to have a co-ed team, but this isn't as bad a thing as you make it sound.
