I'm not entirely sure what you mean by cohort. If you mean a couple dozen, no. If you mean a few, yes. I also don't think it's likely that they can be just as fast, just as strong, etc, but I do think there can be the odd one, two, or three that could be competitive (i.e. not embarrass themselves) among the men. It would depend on the sport and role of course (e.g. anything that takes max strength is probably a no go). And I do believe sexism is probably holding them back.
It's interesting what Joe posted and I'd love to see a woman join the PGA, but even if they're not officially prohibited, I have to imagine they would be unofficially unwelcome by a lot of people, players, fans, and management. Still, maybe one day one woman will be headstrong enough and just go for it. I'd hope she'd be the very best at her sport though so she has the best chance at being competitive otherwise it might set them back even further. I'd be very curious to hear whether past top women athletes had considered it and why they chose not to.
