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

There are situations in which the greater strength & speed of male athletes is relevant but mostly ppl want to watch athletes compete.

The drama & excitement of watching men race isn't diminished by pointing out that they'd lose miserably to greyhounds.

I don't see it as morally wrong to point out differences between men & women, obviously. Nor is it morally right. Context dependant.

Sometimes it's relevant & interesting. Sometimes it's irrelevant & tedious. Motives can be good, bad or neutral.

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.

Greater propensity for violence & greater athletic capabilities different sides of the same coin.

Most of the comparisons made between male & female athletes are unnecessary I agree.

Interesting part for me is how differently these athletes get paid.
