I wouldn't use the word Absurd, but if you're comparing fair examples of each it's impossible for a female of any species to have the same type of mass as a male.
It comes down to Testosterone, females don't produce nearly as much as males, Testosterone is responsible for the functions below:

• sex drive
• bone mass
• fat distribution
• muscle size and strength
• red blood cell production
  

Females can be every bit as muscular proportionally but they cannot be as densely muscle packed as males nor have as large of muscles when comparing averages.
Outliers will always exist but comparing the largest of either sex will result in the same observations. Reply
