There “s no easy answer to this one – each man and each woman chosen will have different personalities, skills, motivations, behaviors, etc that will determine this.
However, lets take a few things as a generality:
Men:
Pro: Stronger, physically.
Caveat: They may not have any useful skills to go along with this strength (Like making fire, filtering water, hunting food, foraging.)
Con: With greater strength comes higher caloric expenditure.
Pro: Decisive.
Caveat: May be quick to act before thinking about the consequences.
Con: Dominating – while men can be more easy-going and able to work together and get things done, they can have “alpha brawls.”
Women:
Pro: Smaller & More Nimble, require less food and water and potentially able to hide as a defense.
Caveat: May have to rely more heavily on wits.
Con: Physically Weaker.
Pro: Utilizes teamwork.
Caveat: May be slow to act.
Con: May get embroiled in drama over hurt feelings.
From my perspective, it “s a tossup. I think they “ve both got a fighting chance.
