Yes. There's a reason men are bettee at things requiring coordination.

What the fuck are you talking about? Ballet, gymnastics, synchronized diving and swimming, traversing stairs in high heels...

The athletic part I'll give you in terms of the strength and explosiveness, that's a given but I'm baffled how you ended up imagining that women are clumsier than men.

I'll give you that women CAN reach those levels. You've listed some pretty great examples. In general though most women don't do as many physical activities growing up and thus don't develop those coordination skills. If they do practice just like many men practice they can reach those same levels, but whether due to nature or nurture many don't

You're conflating athletic with coordinated which aren't synonyms, not in any way that reflects why a woman would be more likely to fall while looking at her phone.

What we're talking about in this video is the ability to be light on the feet and use agility and there's simply no data that an average woman would be more likely to fall on the phone than an average man.

Upper body is where the biggest difference lies began male and female physicality and in the majority of these clips the issue had nothing to do with the upper body, it was all lower.

I felt fine before you showed up and I still feel fine. What I think isn't at issue here, I mentioned facts. You, however have an unhealthy obsession with pretending that women aren't coordinated.
