I'd file the fact that men outperform women athletically under things that are true but mostly irrelevant. https://twitter.com/NoahPollak/status/879199867855413248 …

The fact that women can't compete athletically with men is relevant if it suggested that women should compete athletically with men.
-
It's possible for things to be true but also not needed to be pointed out all the time.
-
An obvious example of this is men's greater propensity for violence which gets pointed out ad nauseum for moralistic purposes.
-
So, as to whether it's anti-science to object to gender differences being pointed out often depends on why they're being pointed out.
-
If the context in which they're pointed out is science, it almost certainly is. If it's moral, ideological, political, it might not be.
-
If there are now demands for McEnroe to apologise & be disinvited to things, this will be a different issue & one that needs countering.

Agreed with the "irrelevant & tedious" bit. And that's the preferred critique. Plausible motives can be exculpatory but seldom dispositive.
