Men have an advantage over women in sports because they're more aggressive and have higher self-esteem, according to Understanding Psychology. The textbook reports that males are more aggressive than females from age 2 through the end of life. On the other hand, women's muscles are more flexible than men's because of hormonal and anatomical differences.

The average range of joint movement and joint flexibility of women is ± 7% better than that of men. As a result, the co-ordination of women is much better than that of men, which make women a lesser injury risk in technical events such as the jumps, hurdles etc. Due to the bigger joint movement and flexibility, women execute advanced techniques such as the fosbury flop in high jump, hurdling and mobility exercises much easier than men.

Men have to be part of feminism, but that doesn't mean they have to run the show. I would not want or expect any one in my life to take a punch for me, any more than I would want to take a punch myself. My concern is to keeping women safe, but honestly one of the biggest social lessons a man can advocate the women’s rights and help to empowered them. As a man, I am sworn to protect the women in my life.

Most fathers, brothers, boyfriends and more are good men who respect and care about the women and girls in their lives. Many of these men feel protective of these women and girls, and I can understand why. The world is not a very good place for women in a lot of ways. 1 in 3 women will be sexually assaulted in her lifetime
