And anyway, you men can have your sports. My question would be can men compete alongside women in dealing with what life can throw at them? Without wishing to offend any men on here that have overcome adversity, I'd say women are more inclined to deal with tribulations much better.

Ah the retired 55 year old Bobby Riggs vs BJK,the womens world number one tennis player at that time.
With regard to the "handling of a crisis" I would say that was 50-50

Can only draw from my own experiences and those of my family but the men usually collapse whilst the women cope. Two suicides when their wife had died young, one who couldn't even bring himself to attend his daughters funeral, and plenty of other men who were held up in some shape or form by their wife.
Admit it....women are better at the strength bit.

You'd better have a chat with Mrs NQT. She worked at a solicitors in the family and matrimonial department for years and saw so many women who couldn't cope and they were the ones bringing the petition.
As I said, I reckon 50-50. It's entirely down to the individual, nothing to do with male or female.
Now don't you be worrying your pretty head and go and put the kettle on ;-)

Some sports may be a bit too aggressive for a woman if they were up against men, but that doesn't mean that there isn't a woman somewhere out there that couldn't go toe-to-toe with a bloke no matter what the sport. I'd exclude motorsports though.
