NBC is right in one area. Organizations, such as the Council of Europe, preclude activities without a physical element from classification as sports. However, a number of competitive, non-physical, activities claim recognition as mind sports. These can include, and are not limited to, bridge, chess, draughts (checkers), Go and xiangqi, and limits the number of mind games which can be admitted as sports. Some other sports that are borderline are archery, equestrian, and shooting sports.
But anything that requires physical superiority is obviously not within the reach of the women to compete with men. And that also is reflected in physical aptitude with our military as men’s and women’s standards are different. This has been a major problem with the entry of women in combat as they are setting themselves up as a liability for the unit and themselves. So he choice is not let but a really small amount of women into the career or lower the standards across he board. Then we are back to the same problem with liability as now anyone can be.

I’ve heard women can compete with men at skeet shooting and things like that.
