I agree with you. I am not convinced by the dismissing of girls like you who played sports and were equal to boys who played sports as "outliers" and "exceptions." Boys are given a lot more encouragement and often instruction and access to equipment than girls are and just about everything needed to develop strength and athletic ability. It's like living in a society where only boys are educated and then saying the fact that they can read and do math better than girls is due to superior intellect on their part. We don't fall for that one anymore, though once it was commonly believed. I think that's the stage we are still at in beliefs about girls' physical abilities and falling for it is doing a number on our heads. Yes, I think males do have an advantage and are stronger on average after puberty, but even that is not set in stone for all time, though that is an entirely different story.
