    BTB did an episode that covered competitive hotdog eating for those interested. IIRC the competitions were coed until a woman started doing well enough to get noticed. Sexism goes so deep, some folks just never want to see a woman beat a man in anything.

      So this happened in Olympic skeet shooting, it used to be coed, then in the early 90s where a women won so they split the competition moving forward into men and women.

      Olympic Pistol and Rifle were split in the 80s because a women tied a man (he even won the tie breaker). In pistol and rifle the women course of fire is less than the men’s so you can’t directly compare them either.

    This list includes Nathan’s Famous 2021 July 4th Hot Dog Eating Contest, which occurs annually at New York’s Coney Island.

    Coney Island is home to the longest running circus sideshow. The park celebrates body diversity, weirdness, and trans people. Half the performers and workers are proudly trans or NB. There really isn’t a worse place for them to try to be transphobic.

    (For context, I perform there. Am trans)

    It turned out that the male throat was just naturally more-biologically-suited to rapidly slide sausages down.

    I’ve had to argue with people who claimed trans women had an unfair advantage in professional wrestling.

    Professional wrestling.

    Let that sink in for a second.

    eSports might be true because don’t men have more fast twitch muscles then women?

    Yes the 99.9% reaction time for men us 109 ms for women it is 121 ms. I mean as much as everyone might want to believe their are biological differences besides genatils.

      Even if that’s true, eSport isn’t always based on reflexes (e.g. card games) and I don’t know about a game that’s not mixed anyway.
