While I don't think the two sexes have the same physical capabilities, I dislike how being a woman is such a hyperspecific category in sports like someone could be born AFAB and lived as a woman their entire life only to be found as intersex in some test and now they're automatically a man and should use masculine pronouns.
And as someone who is AFAB, growing up I was often discouraged from going outside, and the gym was off-limits, which would've been a disadvantage for me if it wasn't for calisthenics. It's not like the physical strength of a man and woman is so far apart either. Some people even claim that an out-of-shape man can overpower a trained woman. In Tug-of-War I'm able to win against an AMAB and I haven't had any HRT yet lol
The rich are never satisfied, and they're always in competition with other rich people. That's why even if they have the best life they'll always seek for more even if they make people suffer.

We wont have bananas that taste any good.
Cavendish bananas aren't the only varieties of bananas that taste good. For example Lakatan and Latundan taste good raw. It's just that most of the time they aren't feasible for export.
One epidemic and we won’t have bananas anymore.
Only for a few countries ;) There's still a lot of banana varieties eaten around the world.
Idk about Brazil but there's a lot of banana varieties that are regularly consumed around the world. There's Lakatan, Saba and Latundan in the Philippines for example, the Saba banana being really popular as a fried snack on a stick.
The silver lining is that it's biodegradable. And good as compost
In Southeast Asia we have lots of banana varieties that we regularly eat.
No you didn't say anything wrong re: women participating in physical activities, it's just that the professor had a point. Not that the two sexes have the same physical capability or ceiling (your professor didn’t even factor puberty and hormones), but that women aren't as strong as they could be because of how society treats them differently. Lots of girls aren't even allowed to go outside and play rough for example. Because they don't become as physically capable it becomes a feedback loop where people assume they are weak so they are discouraged from physically demanding activities.
And me mentioning the Tug-of-War thing wasn't about what you said but a statement against the people I mentioned beforehand who claimed that the physical disparity was so high that an out of shape man can beat a trained woman.
