so all that said, in a world where chakra is what matters, it should bridge that gap. just look at sakura and tsunade. they are 2 of the most powerful characters because of their chakra control. the reason female characters in naruto generally suck is because kishi doesn't know how to write women (he also might just not care and i think he does harbor some slight misogynistic tendencies with lines like kurenai's father telling her she's only good for making babies, etc...)

Yeah, calling bullshit on a statement like "the strongest female fighter will get destroyed by your average male" is being politically correct
And what both extremes? As far as I can see, he's the only one on the extreme. As
Hunter said, no one's arguing on your average male and female - although even then, you cannot make a blanket statement like that.
As you yourself noted, physical capabilities count for shit in Naruto, most of the time. So, inferring that physical superiority in real world would translate to combat superiority in Naruto-verse and calling it a
"fact" is bullshitting to the extreme.
