About that little footnote: while it's true men have higher strength ceilings, women have the advantage in a consistent release of strength over longer periods of time. If we analogize this to wind-up toy cars, boys' springs store more tension and can make the car go faster, but women have longer spring coils so their cars can go further.
It's why women could take the advantage if they have refined their techniques, as they're better suited for longer bouts rather than shorter ones that rely more on single finishers.
