All the data, every single piece of data, shows that men have an advantage.

They have an advantage in spatial geometry.

They have an advantage in lung size, heart size.

They have an advantage in the shape of the hips.

They have an advantage pretty much across the board in bone density, except some populations of African-American women and some men.

Weightlifters are different.

There's a bunch of variabilities, but reaction time is way faster.

There's a bunch of things.

And there's also the male mind, like the hunter-gatherer mind.

That's a real thing.

There's something to that, and it's why men win at chess.

It doesn't make any fucking sense.

Why aren't women better at chess?

Why do men win at pool?

What is it about the high-level competitors and a bunch of these different things that don't seem to require physical strength where men still win?

Because there's some creepy advantage that men have.

And I get pushback for this all the time, especially on the chess thing.

Like I say, if it's a women's chess tournament, men shouldn't play.

And people will come for me, the trans rights activists, and they'll say, oh, my gosh, like you're saying that women are stupider than men.

And I'm like, hold on.
