Why does badminton even need to be separated it’s not a strength contest

    Because some people view Men's sports as professional, and a career opportunity. Women's sports on the other hand are seen by those people as recreational, and something fun to do outside of the house.

    Who would put a professional player against a recreational player? That's just not fair, the recreational player would be embarrassed at how bad they are and it wouldn't be fun to watch.

    Obviously nothing I said is true but it's an opinion held by many.

    Reaction time, endurance, strength(yes hitting a shuttlecock harder is important), etc. They vary wildly between men and women and no sport can really balance the scales in either direction.
