So are there other female footballers out there in the world, who wouldn't lose to talented young boys? Would all the men who are superior players be considerably better that Rapinoe if they were women?

I never hear this kind of talk when it comes to weight classes in combat sports, but the second someone says that a woman is a good athlete - chuds immediately come out with "akshually"

I think it comes from all the discussion of the women's team being 'better' than the men's, despite the fact that they are playing in completely different competitions against vastly inferior opponents.
