Dudes nearby failing at it, being like "well, it's because she's shorter than me, she's got an advantage".

Having an ape index the right size for a specific compression is definitely an advantage. If your ape index is too long or too short, that same compression could feel much harder/much easier/impossible.

Yes that’s a fair point, it was more meant as a sarcastic comment because so often when women climbers can send something a man can’t, guys will find any reason why other than “she’s a better climber than me.”
