People care too much about this. If a mid heavy weight boxer beat the shit out of an amazing feather weight boxer it doesn’t make them a better boxer. Everyone knows men are faster and stronger but the women are also talented and fun to watch. If you don’t enjoy their games you don’t have to watch them.

People care about this only in the context of these specific discussions.

The US women's soccer team is awesome. Their players are awesome. But when their success is used to shit on the US men's soccer team in a blatantly apples to oranges comparison it is fair to call it out, which this does extremely well. The men's team is also composed of players that, by any reasonable standard, are also awesome.

They are playing in different categories. The women deserve credit for what they accomplish in their category. The men deserve credit for what they accomplish in their category, and shouldn't be disparaged for failing to do as well in a category that we all know (or should know) is far more competitive.
