No. I'm saying that it's a fact that women are naturally smaller than men, and when you look at professional sports it's very hard to be small and successful in your sport. By starting intergender sports not only would you diminish the already dwindling number of supporters for women's sports, as they would move on to watching what is currently "men's" sports, but you're also taking away the opportunity for thousands of females who just wouldn't be able to make it in the pros. Here's a chart of average sizes from the UK
