what with the chess and bowling thread recently, i’m wondering if there is any physical/mental/whatever competition/games/accomplishments out there where the top players are dominated by women?
also, does being number one mean anything other than having more time to devote to that particular endeavour than everyone else?
Motherhood. 
Gymnastics?
Ice Skating?
Underwater Basket Weaving? (just kidding)
Here in Nevada anyway legal prostitution is pretty much, far as I’m aware*, 100% women.
*Not that I’m all that up on the subject
I can’t find a cite to back this up but I once read that the top female billiards players could probalby beat the top male players.
Part of the dominance of men in sports/games surely comes from physical characteristics. I’m sure another part is mental. Women (in general) don’t seem to have the same obsessiveness required to reach to do things over and over until they are unbeatable. They play and can become very good, but I think most women are more balanced.
Take video games, for example, I know far fewer women who will spend all day just trying to get to the next level. But guys will spend hours…
Female target shooters are as deadly as they come and can shoot as well or better than any male counterpart.
Females are best at patience (ie teachers) and looking deep within. Where I would like to also list listening, I am reminded of the constant gabbing and gossiping. 
Females are good at asking for directions 
I’ve spent days.
Equestrian sports (dressage, cross country, show jumping) are sports where the men and women compete on equal terms. Even in the Olympics they compete against each other. To me it seems that there are a greater number of women participating, but I have no actual numbers.
Women at far more accomplished at influencing men than other men are. How many beer and deodorant commercials catering to men don’t feature one or more hot babes as pretty much THE selling point? Ever had a male friend convince you to spend a small fortune entertaining him on the town? I’d go with advertising… but if you’re looking for a physical activity… uhmm… dunno
Women can beat men at ultramarathons (100 miles)
Distance swimming, IE the english channel.
And my own favorite multiple orgasms!!!
As far as I have read and heard, women are superior to men in work that requires patience and concentration. They are also better at perceiving and working with small visual details. Hence, they are favored as laborers in certain industries: semiconductors, sewing, etc.
It also seems to be generally recognized that women are better at caring and nurturing. This is then based on their superior ability to recognize emotional and psychological states.
Women may be superior to men in many areas, but men get very aggressive in pursuing careers in industries/professions that are perceived as prestigious and/or money-making. For example, I read that in the former Soviet Union, most of the doctors were women. It was not perceived as a prestigious occupation there.
A man can’t be a bitch.
Gosh, it seems like there’s an awful lot of speculation and unverified statements in this GQ question. Lets do some legwork:
Target Shooting:
Not according to the World Records
Side-by-side comparisons (at random):
World record for Trap Shooting (125 birds)
Man - 125 Pellielo, G Italy
Woman - 121 Strodtman, F. USA
World record for Air Rifle - 10m 40 shots standing:
Man - 699.1 Saeynevirta, T. Finland
Woman - 504.0 Letcheva, V. Bulgaria
So seems like men are better at that. (Although granted I don’t know if those are what you count as target shooting - I have no understanding of the sport).
Distance Swimming:
Except, not according to this site.
To quote from there:
Bolding mine.
The other things that have been brought up like Gymnastics or Ice Skating are too subjective and unverifiable (especially since they are based on judges). Also in Gymnastics, men/women do different formats. A girl may be much more graceful - but throw her on the rings and see how she holds up. In Ice Skating the men do harder tricks (quadruple lutzes and the like). But I would wager that the women are much more graceful. (And I believe they are indeed, judged on their gracefulness).
So how about some concrete, verifiable examples?
Wet nurse.
Sled dog racing.
Again, ultramarathons.
Here’s a cite for the sled dog racing http://library.thinkquest.org/11313/Iditarod/
Swimming down stream in a river is not the same as swimming across the english channel. I will give you however that a man has gone across the EC in 7 hrs 17 minutes while the best women’s time is 7 hrs 40 mins by your site. Pretty close.
Mr. Pict will verify my second assertion. chill :wally
Kvetching.
I think pornography is one of the only fields where women are paid much, much more than men.
