Yup, this is a weird thread. Like arielmoon, I beat lots of guys. Lots of guys beat me. Sure, in general male athletes are stronger/faster than female athletes at the same level of training, but in a random male/female couple it's more like who happens to have better genes, a more suitable body type, a better athletic base from before, is more active, trains better, has a lighter bike, yadda yadda yadda.
But y'all already said that so I'll go shut up
