I think they are both at a disadvantage....and that's not easy to do

Djimbe said:wow , what a bunch of mansies !
Who cares ? If a chick is in your Weight class she CAN own you . Hell , thats what Weight Classes are FOR - to keep things Fair ! If you get beaten them you need to work on your Skils , thats all . Get over it .
highoctane said:If a girl is in the ring, its most likely because she wants to be. I fight because I like to fight. I fight hard too. If I wasn't comfortable grappling or fighting thai with guys bigger then me, I just wouldn't. I don't think it is neccessarily promoting domestic violence. Nothing wrong with equality in sport.
Kane Fan said:saying that is easy
beating the shit out of a woman and feeling like you have accomplished something isn't
Kane Fan said:it's not equal
if the girl wins she's the hero of the day, if she gets her ass kicked, no pride lost she was fighting a man
if the guy wins big freakin deal hebeat up a girl, if he dosn't win...he got beat up by a chick...
there is no equality anywhere there

I personally cant see whats so inherently "inferior" about another human being thats the same height , weight , Reach , build , and training as you . Perhaps this is an American Cultural issue at the core , but Im really missing what it is thats makig the difference here .
Personally ive never felt particularly good about beating the shit out of anyone , honestly , and I cant truly see how anyone could .
But perhaps thats a matter of unique perspective ? I mean , Im a relativeley lean 400 lb man . Ive also been training in MAs for over a quarter century now . No one alone really represents MUCH of a threat to me in a fight without a weapon when I decide to get 'serious' , so I HAVE to see 99.99997% of all men in the same way that you ae forced to see most women , I suppose . I mean , me taking on a 300 lber is about like a heavyweight taking on a Middleweight , proportionately , and theres a REASON that dren just does NOT happen !
But over the years this perspective has taught me to RESPECT the Smaller opponents - the so-called "Weaker" or "inferior" amongst us , because if you ARENT on your game you CAN be taken . Genetic gifts arent everything , and neither is Brute Force . AND the fact of the matter is that when dealing withWeight Classes you arent even guaranteed any kind of strength Advantadge simply by being the male . ON AVERAGE males are bigger , wich is why they tend to be stronger - but given the same alotment of Muscle Mass and the same BF% ...
the only advantadge that I see is a percieved one due to Cultural Bias .
