Why do women gain so much respect when they beat a man at any sport?

Well, that's not ALWAYS the case. But when it is, it's because men are generally better than women at most sports, especially those involving upper body strength. That's why women usually have their own basketball teams, for example, instead of competing directly with men. So when a woman does beat a man it is sometimes seen as quite an accomplishment. People may not take into account the fact that the man may have been totally unathletic.

There is so much hype and thought that men are 'stronger' than women that when a seemingly inferior woman beats him at something physical, it's a tremendous feat. I don't believe this, but I'm sure others do.
