I mean, yeah. It seems silly to even have to say those truths out loud like you're making an argument for them.

There are plenty of dumbasses out there, both male and female.

Male and Female bodies were made entirely different.

Nah ... you can't say that. Men and women are basiclly the same. You COULD say that we are entirely different if women looked like... say, horses ... and men looked like starfish. But we basically share the same anatomy ... bilaterally symmetric hairless apes wuth heads, lungs, livers, gall bladders, etc mostly in the same place and doing basically the same things. Men and women are "variations on a theme". The differences between us aren't universal - there are many women who are taller and stronger and smarter than many men, for example. But when you're talking about the top 1% (or fewer), the bell curve gets pretty thin, and there are fewer examples of overlap.

Bodies aren't "made", they evolve. In many species, the female is larger than the male. It all has to do with the reproductive strategy of that particular species. (Thousands of offspring with no parental attention? Fewer, carfully nurtured offspring? Many females to one male, with the male taking no part in raising the young?) It's a fascinating topic. Anyway, humans are more like many birds: offspring are so demadning that it takes two adults to raise young to their age of reproduction, which means that humans and (most) birds aren't "harem" species. It's a fascinating topic that has to do with energy transfer to the next generation. Humans are aberrant when it comes to apes and even to most other mammals because our young are so helpless for such a prolonger period of time. In no other species (that I know of) do the young have to be hand carried for a year.

It's hard to eyeball, but by height it looks appx 30pct overlap. By strength, there is less overlap bc many men have more muscle mass than many women, even if equal height. But in my prime I could have beat appx 10 pct of men that I knew/ worked with.

Here there is considerable overlap between men and women. I think I've mentioned b4 that avg IQ is about the same, but males are both stupider and smarter, so this is truly a case of comparing the top 1pct.

Men and w,omen aren't TOTALLY different. Mostly the same, but with variations on a theme.
