You can call it a "pissing contest" if you'd like, but "Who is a better athlete" is exactly the point of competitive sports, isn't it?
New events are added based on popularity amongst viewers. Better athletic performances draw more viewers - thus open class events featuring the premier human athletes always outdraw the events that exclude the top athletes based on their gender. That's why this discussion has included discussion of male vs. female performance and so on.
