Couldn't you just take women's records and compare them to men's records to compare what they're capable of at peak performance?
Oh wait, clearly those records are invalid. Women just haven't been pushing themselves hard enough, they've never had to compete with men before, so we've just never seen their full potential!
There's no reason a true and honest woman couldn't beat Thomas in swimming, a sport where men's records are *only* a little over 10% faster than women's*.
*I checked a handful, not all of them by any means.
See the funny thing is that, depending on the sport, you could make an argument that men and women are on equal footing. In fact, I've found a public health researcher arguing just that, but stating that it applies to all sports! Now, let's see if the sports she mentions as examples have anything in common, or if there's anything disingenuous about the argument:
There's that fun word "unpack" again. I'm sure it won't be used for a one-sided argument with blind spots the size of small planets
Here are her three examples! Gee, I wonder if there's something about figure skating and skeet shooting that make them different from a sport like swimming, or racing, or basketball? Something about the specific way men and women are different?
The football one is funny because it's a total non-sequitur, but I'm not sure she realizes that.
Oh yay, more examples!


Even the articles she quotes, which point to the fact that in endurance sports women can often finish in the top 10 or better, a man often still wins. But in those sports (in the case of long-distance racing, already a mixed sport) women's performance is often on par, or slightly above men in the case of shooting. So it's stupid to think that women are just inherently worse at sports. Were that the argument people were making, then she might have a point.

Ending with some boilerplate nonsense about the liberating power of sport, as though we aren't talking about careers and money and things with limited spots and resources.
This shit is what twitter excels at, slippery out-of-context arguments posing as actual information. The examples she chose are so obviously, obviously incorrect as comparisons, but all that matters is that she tweeted 20/20 times with several references, so people will point to this without ever thinking about what it actually says.
