At top end of the spectrum men always outperform women. The fact that some women can outperform many men has never been questioned. The issue arises with men, pretending to be women and competing in women's sports … and due to biological differences that exist -dominating in those sports. Dudes have been dominating every female sport they enter.
I have been training in self-defense a long time and have met many women that can destroy a man in physical combat, but any one of them will more likely fail at fighting a man at their own level or even a few levels below. And only when they admit that to themselves can they actually learn things that will help them survive a violent encounter, knowing they will not be stronger or faster than their opponent.
