"A few? Try most of the women who do take up martial arts for a lengthy period of time. Women are generally faster than men, and can get past a typical man's defenses more often than another man"

All this tells me is that you've been getting your ass handed to you by the women you have sparred with. ;-)

"Because you likely came across women with no special training, or participating in sports where their specific attributes have no great advantage over men."

Actually it was a sport where the most useful physical characteristics are more often attributed to women than to men, and the top female competitors were far more committed to the sport than myself or the other mediocre men.
