Give me one good reason why their stats should be equal to men's, and also any examples of systems that use realistic stats or systems for women.
Also, political correctness is the opposite of a good reason, and generic "it's fantasy" shit don't even bother, since the size of gnomes and dwarves is taken into account, the age of elves, and the physical properties of pretty much everything else is incorporated somehow.
In any system where Halflings and Gnomes don't have a penalty to Strength, why should human women?

Because nobody cares.

It's very simple, actually.
See, there are exceptional women who manage to equal men. Very few of them, of course, but when you're playing a female PC? Those are the women you're playing as.
By and large, most women aren't. Then again, most men aren't equal to the PCs either! That's why they're NPC characters with no class levels and so on (i.e. They're completely fucking irrelevant.)
And at the point, it doesn't matter. Who cares if a Level 0 peasant is male or female? You kill them in one hit anyway.

Veeky Forums debates endlessly about the realism of every weapon, item, creature in existence, but they can't handle sexual dimorphism? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_dimorphism
Muscle density, bone density, testosterone, etc.
Nothing? Just oversensitivity and Thoughtcrime immediately?

debate can be fun, but people get exceptionally salty on both sides of the sexual dimorphism statistical representation debate
it wasn't fun to begin with, and after being rehashed for the billionth time it's somehow even more tedious

Sorry OP, you should have picked a better time of day to make this
