yes a top man at this distance is faster than 4 fast women.
Only in the sprint mid distance relays are 4 women faster than one man.
the line would be somewhere longer than 3200M
4x100 women 40.82 one man WVN 400m 43.03
4x400 womens world record 3:15
El G mile 3:43 (a tick or so faster for 1600 meters.)
4x800 women all time all star team might go 7:45
Komen close at 7:58 (he would be a few ticks faster for 3200 meters)
I cant see 4 top women beating one top man at any distance longer than that.(3200M)
DMR is longer at 4000M
12:37 5k by Kenny B is superior over any combination of a 4 woman 5k relay (2x1K at 2:29 and 2X 1500M at 3:50 is slower)
Womens DMR record is soft right now.

Makh Daddy is fast, but the 2:42 I feel is the most generous of the 4. All of those guys would have to be in peak peak form. Maybe do a DMR at one of the DL meets mid summer? But if it's a relay, you really should split it up by nationality.
For USA for instance, have
Andrews 2:48
Merritt 43.5 (3:31.5)
Murphy 1:43 (5:14.5)
Centro 3:47.5 (9:02) 9:02
Again, that 9:02 is everyone in peak form and of course, unless you put them up against teams like Kenya, Ethiopia, GB, then they won't be pushed and these times are unlikely. Everyone on this DMR is a racer, not a time trialer.
even accounting for the conversion to 1600 centro has never come close to the 3:47.5 time and he has been pulled along in all of those races.
Mo Farah is a Muslim? And here I thought he was named after a Stooge.

The DMR is 4km total and they just ran 10:40.31 for the new indoor wr. In Bekele's 5k wr, he split a 10:07.93 4k, then followed through with another 1k in like 2:30.
Goes to show how much faster men are.
Finally someone on letsrun with the courage to point out that men are faster than women. Kudos OP.

What a joke.
Besides, Kiprop is so lazy, he belongs on the 1200m leg, not the 1600m leg.
