    Boxing has weight classes. As do most other martial arts.

    The problem is not a 50kg men fighting a 70kg women in terms of injuries and power imbalance. And in that set up the women most likely wins. The problem is the typical situation of a 80-100 kg men smacking down on a 50-60kg women. And that is the image the demagogues try to conjure.

    So if your full blown men is a 60kg feather to be able to compete against another 60kg women, the whole trope falls apart.
