Because the most pathetic of the XYs feel a need to compare their performances with those of women.
testosterone, a narrower pelvis, longer legs, better muscle tone, and more red blood cells.
Men close 10ks faster than the fastest women's 800m runners.
I agree with most of this except for you left off (1) Mental toughness and also leg length doesn't really seem to be relevant. Look at bekele.

you are right about the leg length thing. However, are men really mentally tougher than women?
mental toughness is negligible. at the elite level everyone has enough mental toughness or they never would be fast enough. and if you want to compare guys to girls, look at race strategy. most guys races are tactical because nobody wants to lead. girls' races are typically more consistent. more girls are willing to run fast early.

Actually women have longer legs than men. But I get your point - the tradeoffs generally favor men.
Um, as a guy who watched his wife give birth to 2 kids without any pain medication, I call BS on the mental toughness.
Why would a woman need medicine for something that's been occurring naturally for millions of years and is done by every other species in the wild without the use of any medicine?

Because women's OPEN 800 winners aren't trained to run 5Ks.
So if they trained for the 5k they'd close in faster 800s than their open times?

The implied question
Why can males close 5k races in faster final 800's than the womens' OPEN 800 winners (can close 5k races)?
Because men and women are different. Ask you mommy and daddy to explain it to you.
Uterine proplapse.
Because it appears to hurt like crazy. People have also been breaking bones, severing limbs, having tooth abscesses etc. for millions of years, why would anyone want pain medication for any of that?
I've heard discussions about the frequency of broken arms in women's grappling and mma. Why? Because they'd rather let their arms break than tap to an opponent.
I'm just not sure why men would claim that women are any less mentally tough.
