[QUOTE="Sol.Dragonheart, post: 4166890, member: 54316"] It's not just rowing. In practically any athletic competition which involves the use of strength, the best male athletes, and in many cases, the college level athletes out perform the best of the women. There is a reason virtually every professional sport has different leagues for each gender. Men are physically stronger than women, that's just a fact. Why facts should bother anyone is quite honestly beyond me. In any case, however, why is this even being debated? The question should really be whether or not applying modifiers to the genders can enhance the game, and better flesh out the world from a simulationist standpoint. Not whether or not Humans in our world have such differences. Really, Humans are just as fantastic and unrealistic in the way they are presented in the D&D world as any other race, so there's no real practical or logical reason to attempt to model the humanity of Earth simply because of the name.
