And...yes. Size and strength make a difference. I used to play hockey, and two women were invited to play one night. It was said they were very good, fast, etc.
They were fast, had good puck handling skills, and could shoot very well, but...it was no contest for them. A guy would lean on them, and that would be it. They had no way to counter it, and would lose the puck.
There is a reason the first female crosses the finish line at the Boston Marathon 15 minutes after the first man does, and it isn’t because women haven’t been given the chance to compete, since they have for decades now.
It is simply because they are at a physical disadvantage.
And anyone who thinks that won’t matter in combat is a fool.
More folks should watch “American Ninja Warrior”. The announcers are politically correct dunderheads ... the action on the course makes mockery of their blather.
